1) Experience: Our staff has more than 150 combined years working in the antique and auction business and selling antiques. We have the knowledge to not only identify items of value but the experience to properly handle many types of delicate items including expensive paintings, fine crystal and art glass, and antique porcelain. Not only do we know what we are doing, but we love what we do and it shows through every aspect of our business. We care about you and your items and you will always be treated with honesty, integrity, and transparency.

2) Marketing: We pride ourselves in the presentation of the antiques that we are entrusted to sell. Our spacious gallery with lighted showcases and ample floor space allows us to place furniture, glassware & china, silver, bronzes, jewelry and other types of antiques in a most attractive way to appeal to prospective buyers. Through our oft viewed website and various online live auction platforms, we can photographically present the contents of your antiques to the world.

 

3) Venue: Auction day at D.A.S. is a multi-theater event allowing us to sell every type of item. A typical day features used furniture, rugs and various other items at 8:00 am; a large room of collectibles, tray lots, household goods and items of every description begins at 9:00 am; jewelry including gold, silver, and costume along with other small and interesting treasures from showcases are sold at 11:00 am; and our catalog sale begins at 2:00 pm. This sale offers multiple ways to bid including in person, online, absentee or phone bidding. We also have the capability to run special topic sales during the day and have done so with categories such as dolls, vintage and designer clothing, mid century modern fabric, vintage toys, and others. These special sales can also be opened to internet bidding when applicable. All of the points above allow us to efficiently and successfully sell your antiques and collectibles in the best way possible.
