I fell madly in love with the Decor pattern Gorham silver service and, now that I know Richard, I am madly in love with him, too. I might as well have direct deposit with GCA&FA, because I also got matching candlesticks and have my eye on much more. I dont understand any of the few negative reviews. Richard personally dropped off my first purchase since he was concerned that the mahogany chest the service came in would not survive shipment. I live fairly close by but I think he would have driven it to California if I told him I lived there. I now have the tablescape of my dreams and a new friend! Thanks, Richard!
I sent photo of an Eric SloanOriginal painting to Richard for his thoughts as to sale eligibility. He was very forthright with his opinion regarding size and my expectations as to what one could expect the worth of the piece. And went on to offer to check other sources.All in all my experience was quite congenial and educational!
Richard and his partner Ron are kind and knowledgeable and very fair.
Richard, the owner is extremely professional and courteous, He helped us sort thru my aunts estate. He was very honest and treated us like family at very trying time. I recommend him to everyone and will do business with him again.
GC Antiques came highly recommended by a co-worker. I was put in touch immediately with Richard who could not have been nicer! He not only is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to all things vintage / antique ; he has patience of a saint, super accommodating with my families hectic schedule and paid very strong for the items we did indeed end up selling to him. We were very happy to work with Richard & GC Antiques.If you are looking for an Antique Buyer go no further and call Richard today!
I did not have a good experience. I left a message about an item I wanted to sell. Rich called me back and told me to text him a pic of what I was selling which I immediately did. I never got any response back from him. I then emailed him with the pics to make sure he got them. Again no response. I think thatβs terribly rude and unprofessional.
I have known Richard for many years. His amazing online collection is a tribute to his trained eye and expertise. He searches for the most unique and special pieces. Richard is a professional who you can trust.
Richard took care of me and my family with some family heirlooms. He was a pleasure to work with and was extremely knowledgeable. I will definitely be returning as well as recommending him to others.
I had a recent experience with Richard from Garden City Antiques and found him to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful in getting the best price for my jewelry items.
He gave me a lot of attitude from beginning to end of our phone call. We donβt know each other personally, and I am not his friend. I was a potential customer and I expected better.
A pleasure to deal with. I have known Richard of Garden City Antiques & Fine Arts to be courteous, friendly and most knowledgeable in all aspects of antiques, fine art, rugs, and gems and jewelry. I have always found him to be professional and responsive in all my dealings through the years.
Richard at Garden City Antiques is incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant to work with and fair. It is always a pleasure to do business with him.
Richard, the owner, is the most professional and gracious antique & estate specialist in New York. His fine arts knowledge is trumped only by his integrity.
Richard the owner is a great, professional, respectful person and a pleasure to work with throughout the years.
Rich was amazing and very fair. would recommend highly. thanx Rich
Richard is a great person to deal with. His knowledge and expertise dealing with a familial appraisal consignment was second to none.
It was a pleasure working with Richard - he really knew the value of my items and offered me a fair appraisal. I would definitely recommend Garden City Antiques in the future.
The owner is RUDE!!! I called him to speak to him about some antiques I was looking to sell and he rushed me off the phone within a minute saying we dont want those. Did I mention he didnt let me finish telling him what I have and hung up on me! Take your business someplace else! He obviously doesnt want it!
Honest and a gentlemen.
