We evaluate, curate, and place collections with the right buyers through private sale, marketplace, or auction when appropriate.
Return of the Vintage is lead by Dave Williams who brings a lifelong familiarity with antiques and collectibles, combined with practical marketplace experience evaluating and placing vintage items with the right buyers.
Our work spans single notable pieces to full household collections and estates. With years of experience in the vintage and antique market, we help determine what should be sold, how it should be sold, and where it will achieve the best outcome.
We focus not just on selling items, but on finding the right next home for them whether that’s a collector, enthusiast, or someone who will truly value their history.
