Sell to Us · Laguna Beach
Sell vintage in Laguna Beach, where the houses were built by artists.
Laguna Beach is not a normal vintage town. It is a century-old art colony, and its cottages and hillside homes hold what artists, gallerists, and collectors live with: paintings bought from the painter, studio ceramics, jewelry made three streets away, furniture chosen with an artist’s eye.
Free visit · cash offers · no obligation
Selling that kind of household calls for a buyer who can tell the festival-booth find from the listed plein air painter, and who treats an artist’s own estate with the respect the work deserves. That is the visit we make, quietly, anywhere from North Laguna to South Laguna and up the canyon.
What we look for in Laguna
California plein air
Early Laguna painters, festival artists, and unsigned canvases worth a real attribution effort.
Studio ceramics and craft
Hand-thrown pottery, enamel work, weavings, and the craft movement the colony nurtured.
Artist and maker jewelry
Modernist silver, studio pieces, and the one-of-a-kind work this town produced.
Artist estates
Studio contents, sketches, frames, easels, and the working life of a painter, kept together.
The collected home
Furniture, art books, and objects chosen by people who looked carefully at things.
Attribution is where the money hides
The difference between an old beach scene and a documented early Laguna painter is the difference between a garage sale and a gallery sale. We do the attribution work: signatures, exhibition labels, frame shops, festival records. When a piece deserves the auction route instead of our check, we say so and point you there. That honesty is why artist families in this town call us back.
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
The painting is unsigned. Is it worthless?
Not necessarily. Style, frame, canvas, and provenance can carry an attribution a surprising distance. Unsigned early Laguna work sells well when the evidence lines up, and we know what evidence to look for.
Do you handle full artist estates?
Yes, and we prefer to keep them coherent: finished work, studies, and studio materials together tell a story that scattered pieces lose. We work with families and, where relevant, with the galleries that knew the artist.
Is there anything you do not buy in Laguna?
Mass-market decor and giclee reproductions, mostly. We will identify them honestly so you are not left wondering, and focus the offer on what carries real value.
