Mark Lawson Antiques, Inc 3 Marcus Boulevard, Albany, NY 12205

"Several years ago, we inherited an art collection. The collection included over five hundred pieces of artwork from both Eastern European and American artists. (Including but not limited to oils, drawings, lithographs, engravings, and original inks.) Since the collection was not catalogued, we had no idea how to organize it, who some of the artists were and the overall value. We met with Mark Lawson, and he agreed to take on the task of researching the artist for each piece, organizing the collection, and eventually auctioning it for us. He was able to identify each piece and arrange an auction in less than 6 months. We were impressed by the professionalism and attention to detail that he and his staff exhibited. We were also pleased with the first auction in which a majority of the artwork was sold. Subsequently he arranged a second auction in which additional pieces were sold. Finally, with our approval donated the remainder of the artwork to a local charity. We would gladly recommend Mark Lawsons Antiques to anyone seeking appraisals or someone to sell items."

"12/10/2020 After a few emails back and forth with Alexandra, we made a house call appointment with Mark Lawson to look at some items we were interested in selling, one of which was a large painting we did not want to transport. Before the appointment we received a detailed email as to what to expect at our appointment. Mark arrived on time and was very cordial and knowledgeable. He offered us fair market value for some gold jewelry we no longer wear, and he will be attempting to sell two items at auction. Our experience so far has been particularly good. 5/17/2021 I'm happy to report our two items sold at auction and we received our settlement check. I would definitely do business Mark Lawson Antiques again."

"It was time to pass along some long held jewelry, coins and other items that were no longer needed and Mark helped us to do that. He was knowledgeable, professional and fair in his assessments and helped us accomplish our goals. Even more importantly he was personable and kind and shared his expertise without hesitation. We would highly recommend Mark Lawson and look forward to working with him again."

"I am extremely happy that I chose Mark Lawson to help me. He is very professional and up front in an informative way. His knowledge and experience were obvious as he considered each item in my home. Mark was able to help me liquidate many items on the day of the appointment and also gave me a solid plan for the future as I prepare to stage my home for sale.I enjoyed Mark's cordiality and that of his assistant. Communication from the business was excellent throughout the entire process.I would highly recommend Mark!"

"I contacted Mark Lawson during the time that NY was on pause and even though he was not seeing clients, his assistant checked in with me every couple of weeks by email. How perfect, I didn't feel forgotten and as soon as Mr. Lawson was able to meet with clients an appointment was set up. I met with Mr. Lawson on 6/5/2020 (I'm a bit late in getting this done). I was so amazed with how at ease he made me while looking through the items in this estate. His knowledge of the items and what items are in demand was incredible. I thought he may have been able to purchase more, but everything that he did was helpful to me. He took the time to answer all of my questions. I know in the future I will contact him again. If you are in need of selling items from an estate, contact Mark Lawson they are great people to work with."
