Our Promise to You

Don't risk locking yourself into a contract with an auction house where they cannot and will not guarantee you a sale or the sales price for your lamp. Don't sell to a dealer who has to give you less money for your lamp to help cover their high overhead and other expenses.

We can and will guarantee to you in writing both the best price and a guaranteed sale!

Who We Are

Fine Art Investments, established in 1972 by Dennis R. Tesdell, is a professional fine art and antique Brokerage service, specializing in the location, evaluation and brokering of authentic, antique, genuine Tiffany lamps. We do not maintain an inventory of original Tiffany lamps for sale to the general public; we do not purchase lamps outright, nor are we auctioneers.

We are a Brokerage Service, who act as a liaison between prospective sellers and our extensive list of screened, private collectors/buyers, who consistently pay the best prices for old, authentic Tiffany lamps. We work with clients from all across the United States(location doesn't matter) in a professional, confidential and timely manner, at NO FEE TO YOU the seller.

For more information about our firm and the full extent of services we offer, we invite you to visit our main site at: www.fineartinvestments.org.

What We Do

We maintain a select list of collectors/buyers who are actively seeking signed and authenticated, old Tiffany lamps of any size and style (in excellent condition or with minimal damage only); including Tiffany hanging shades, Tiffany table lamps, Tiffany floor lamps (dome or leaded shade, any size), Tiffany desk lamps, Tiffany chandeliers, wall sconces, individual authentic signed Tiffany bronze lamp bases (must be signed and numbered on the bottom of the base), and authentic signed Tiffany lamp shades in very good to excellent condition (or with minimal damage).

For more information, and some representative examples of the types, varieties, and appearance of authentic, antique Tiffany lamps we are seeking on behalf of our buyers/collectors, we invite you to view our examples page.

How We Work

~ The "Buyer Pays All The Fees" Approach ~

The largest costs to the seller-owner when selling at auction, through a broker, or gallery are the "fees and commissions" they must pay to the broker/agent for selling their item(s). These fees can often total between 20 - 30% of the actual sale price! We decided that since all buyers would have to pay a commission if they bought at any major auction house, or indirectly pay more if they bought from a consignment gallery, we might as well charge them a "finder's fee" commission and put none of the costs or commissions onto the seller-owner.

Because we are professionals who work with an established list of collectors/buyers, we are in a unique position to discreetly present your antique Tiffany lamp to parties expressly interested in its style and design. For more information regarding our brokerage service, conditions, and how it all works, we ask that you carefully review our brokerage services page.

Why It Works

There are many risks involved in attempting to sell your antique Tiffany lamp on your own. Over exposure, or "shopping an item around," can have the most detrimental effects on its ultimate ability to sell and/or sell for the price it is worth. Once an item has been "burned" (overexposed) within the market, damage recovery becomes a nearly impossible task.

We are professionals with over years of experience specializing in the evaluation and brokering of authentic, antique Tiffany lamps. We are discreet, and have a ready list of collectors/buyers eager to purchase high quality items. To find out if your lamp qualifies, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the content on the pages within this site--they contain a wealth of knowledge designed to help and educate you. We further invite you to complete our simple online Tiffany Lamp Assessment Form and submit it to us for evaluation. Doing so places you under no obligation whatsoever, and will be a useful tool in helping to determine the authenticity, quality and salability of the Tiffany style item in your possession.
