My 89 year old mother, asked me to get the best price for the gold jewelry she no longer wanted. I visited several places in the Capital Region and Mark gave me the fairest price. He is very knowledgeable and took his time to explain the process and what goes into determining the price of gold. The staff was also very courteous. I definitely recommend Mark Lawson Antiques.
Originally from Saratoga but now living in Florida, I am here visiting family. An elder relative passed away years ago and as the only family living in Florida, my husband and I took on the task of cleaning out her home. I had never seen so much jewelry in all my life - 95% of it being costume. I spoke to several antique/estate dealers in Florida and had I taken their advise, I would have just given it away. My sister, though, had told me about Mark and since we were driving up here, suggested that I bring up the shoebox full of jewelry. I did and yesterday we went to see him. It was such a pleasure to work with Mark. He was so patient and absolutely fair in his pricing. There was only one item that he couldnt purchase from me based on the material of the piece but otherwise, he bought everything that I brought in. I was absolutely thrilled and would highly recommend Mark to anyone and everyone. He is very trustworthy and seems to be a genuinely nice person.
I had an early 1900s carriage clock that Mr Lawson agreed to see. He was very pleasant and professionalAnd gave me a fair buying price. I am downsizing 3 generations in a family home and have a few antiques that I want to be sure get into homes where they will be appreciated! Am confident in Mr Lawson’s professionalism, business and his following. Thank you and will be bringing more of my lot to him for consideration.
Mark and his team are a first class act. They make you feel welcome and not rushed. Mark takes as much time that is needed to evaluate your goods. He offers you fair and reasonable prices if your in the market for selling or gives the honest advice that you might not want to hear that grandma’s prized possession should go in the donation bin in a kind way. Would definitely recommend!
After going to several local antique dealers I went to Mark Lawson Antiques for the final appraisal of my mother’s silverware and my father’s silver dollar collection. Mark was the best! He was sensitive to the recent passing of my mother and understanding of my role in representing my family in the sale of these important possessions. Mark was most generous with his time and offered detailed explanations of the factors effecting market value. Based on his knowledge of these items, Mark offered us the best price. As important as the price was to my family and me, it was even more important to be the beneficiary of Mark’s high level of professionalism, courtesy, and personal care. I highly recommend Mark Lawson Antiques!
I unloaded a lot of antique silver, silver-plated, and gold items. Mark was very professional, sorting and weighing everything, and fair in his pricing.He also referred me on to another dealer who bought the items he was not able to take for resale. Really appreciated finding someone so courteous and professional.
I was very happy with my experience with Mark Lawson. I sold some jewelry and was very satisfied with the price I got. It was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend him to all who want a safe, pleasant and comfortable Business transaction.
Horrible. Came to my home to potentially purchase some antiques I inherited from my grandmother and pressured me to sell a meaningful victorian music box. He was rude and pushy.
Positive experience selling some jewelry that is no longer worn. Mr.Lawson spent time going over each item and was thorough in explaining what had value (and what didn’t). Appreciated his time and the information. Would return if/when I have other items to sell.
I have done business with Mark Lawson on a few occasions and wouldn’t go to anyone else. Most recently I brought him old coins and paper money that had belonged to my dad. Mark is very knowledgeable and I was very pleased with my visit!
Mark is professional, personable and extremely knowledgeable. He was very fair with the prices he offered for the items he accepted. If you have valuables you want to have evaluated I highly recommend Mark Lawson Antiques.

Very honest..pointed out items of more value than I had thought. Great experience and would highly recommend.Jonathan,Johnstown N.Y.
Mark and Alexander were so cordial and accommodating. Mark was straightforward and explained everything in detail, making me confident that I was treated fairly with my sale. I will keep their number for future sales and inquiries and already give his name to interested people!
Mark Lawson and his staff were very good to do business with. His staff was very helpful in letting me know what Mark would be able to help me with and setting up an appointment. When meeting with Mark he took the time to educate me on how he was arriving at the value of my items. I appreciated the amount of detail he went into. I had an item that Mark was not interested in but he was good enough to provide a referral to another person who could help me with an evaluation.
My experience at Mark Lawson Antiques was successful and pleasant from start to finish. I was greeted by a warm and personable staff who assisted me in bringing my things into the office. Mark is efficient, very knowledgeable, and fair. He answered all my questions about a number of my grandmothers possessions. I received a good price for the items that I sold. If I have more items to sell in the future this is where I will go.
Mark and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. I brought in many items to show him and sell or appraise. His receptionist was extremely welcoming and offered to help me get my items into the Antiques building. Mark looked over what I had and offered me fair prices on what he wanted to purchase. I would highly recommend Lawson Antiques to those who have any items of value to go see him and his staff and see what they can do for you! Thanks again!
I came in possession of some old cameras. Mark was able to consult his extensive databases for their worth, offered us fair prices and was both professional and sociable throughout. We were so happy with our experience that we are having him evaluate some other of our belongings. Highly recommended.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Mark and his staff. Easy appointment set up with great communication and flexibility. I arrived and was promptly greeted and met with Mark shortly thereafter. Quick evaluation, fair pricing, and check in hand same day all for items of jewelry that I don’t wear. Highly recommend!
Great company to do business with. Offered fair prices for my items I would definitely do business with them in the future.
Personable, honest, a pleasure to do business with.
The entire process with Mark Lawson Antiques, from start to finish, was very supportive and frankly couldnt have been better. I have been dealing with divesting family items for quite some time now, and this is the first time that Ive had a fair and lucrative experience. Contact them through their website and see for yourself. You wont be disappointed. These are true professionals with years of experience, dont hesitate to trust your inquiries and transactions to Mark Lawson Antiques!
Very pleased with our meeting with Mr. Lawson. He explained the value of the items we brought in and we were happy with his opinion and offer to purchase. Additionally, prior to coming in to meet with Mr. Lawson, I had several email communications with his assistant, Julia, who was terrific in offering information, answering questions and ultimately the reason why we came in. I would highly recommend Mark Lawson.
I recently brought some antique jewelry pieces in that my mother wanted appraised. Mr. Lawson was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and the whole process was quick and comfortable. I had brought the pieces to other appraisers but Mr. Lawson offered the best price for them. I definitely will return when I have any pieces I would like appraised.
Mr. Lawson was very courteous, reasonable, and knowledgeable. We felt we received the best return from him for our family heirlooms given the changed values of our modern society.
From the initial interaction with polite, professional staff with pleasant attitude throughout the privately scheduled on-time meeting, working with this organization was a pleasant, trustworthy experience. Mr. Lawson bases his appraisal on industry data and shares information openly. The facility, people working there, Mr. Lawson, and the process-class act all the way.
I was told that two hand carved white jade Chinese monkey stamps were not very old, and worth only $30-$50. They are, in fact, 19th century, and worth $2000-$2500. I would not recommend Mark Lawson antiques to anyone.
Great deal, thanks for making selling my gold so easy. Great prices, highly recommend if you have gold to sell, talk to Mark first!
Thanks for a great appraisal, great service.
