Testimonials
Mariam researched a painting that belonged to my parents and discovered that it was worth 10 times what my family thought. We couldn’t believe it, and decided to sell at auction. Mariam skillfully guided us through the entire auction process. She was amazing and we were absolutely thrilled with the results.

I wanted to sell a few pieces of jewelry that I hadn’t worn in years. Mariam provided auction estimates, negotiated favorable consignment terms with the auction house and even delivered the jewelry to them. She made the entire process so easy for me. I highly recommend her services.
