Sell to Us · La Jolla
Sell in La Jolla, quietly and without the auction wait.
La Jolla households collect the way the village has always lived: deliberately. Art bought from the galleries on Prospect, jewelry from three generations of anniversaries, silver that crossed the country in a steamer trunk and never left the sideboard. When pieces like that need new homes, the default advice is always the same: ship them to an auction house and wait most of a year.
Free visit · cash offers · no obligation
We are the other answer. A private appointment at your home, evaluation explained as it happens, and settlement the same day. For many estates the certainty is worth more than the auction lottery, and we will tell you honestly when a particular piece is the exception that deserves the longer road.
What we are asked to see in La Jolla
Art
California and listed painters, prints, and sculpture, with real attribution work where it is warranted.
Jewelry
Signed pieces, estate diamonds, and the gold of well-marked anniversaries, weighed and explained openly.
Silver
Sterling services and hollowware from the entertaining decades, priced above melt when the maker merits it.
Watches
The Rolexes and dress watches of careers spent at Scripps, Salk, and downtown.
Estates
Complete households from the Village to Muirlands, documented for trustees and family.
Trustee work is half our La Jolla calendar
Much of what we do in the village is fiduciary: a trustee in another state, a house on Hillside that must be documented, valued, and emptied properly. We provide itemized purchase records, coordinate with counsel, and pay the estate directly. The drive from Orange County is ninety minutes; the alternative for most families is months of logistics. Bird Rock, the Shores, and the Farms are all the same appointment.
A Recent Find
A 1940s Levi’s Type 1 jacket, sold to us by a former dealer who knew exactly what he had. We paid $12,000 in cash, the same day.

Common questions
How does your offer compare to consignment at a local gallery?
Consignment can win for the right painting if you can wait and the gallery’s audience matches the work. Our offer is immediate and certain. We will lay out both honestly, piece by piece.
Can you handle a household where some items go to family first?
Of course. We work from whatever remains after family choices, and we are comfortable visiting twice: once to inform those choices, once to buy.
Do you really drive down for one watch or one painting?
For the right one, without hesitation. Send a photo; we will be straight about whether it justifies the trip or whether a local option serves you better.
