I've been hard at work as an art & antique dealer for 30 years. I currently have a shop specializing in Art Deco sculpture, German porcelain figurines and groupings, 20th Century Chinese Arts & crafts, and more. Although I have many fields of interest, I consider my expertise to be in the field Chinese & Japanese ivory carvings. I am happy to assess all Asian ivory carvings from any period that you believe to be derived from any ivory bearing animal.

Lee's shop Plaza Collectibles is one of the many wonders of the antique & trading world. Buying, trading, and selling is always a unique experience with owner Lee Rosenblum. You can not imagine how much inventory he crams into his 900 sq/ft small shop. He must have at least 5,000 desirable watches in stock, thousands of rare and valuable coins, sports memorabilia, rock and roll memorabilia, and much more! The secret to stocking an extensive inventory is to stack boxes of goods 12 feet high and pack showcases with stacked jewelry trays 5 feet high. Not a great retail environment but a wholesalers delight. If you have an hour to kill shopping for a watch, you will accomplish a lot with Lee. Entire estates appraised for a fee. Certificates of appraisal available for a fee. Merchandise trades welcome! General Items.

I will be happy to appraise Art Deco sculptures, jewelry, lighting, and collectibles. I buy and sell a large assortment of items in a vast range of categories, but my field of specialty is in Art Deco sculptures. I buy and sell pieces by Chiparus, Preiss, Zach, and many others from that period. Please do not request appraisals for general merchandise. I do not appraise coins, memorabilia, toys, dolls, automotive, vintage clothing, and furniture.
