Recently I inherited a few Asian pieces and after searching the Internet came across Chamberlain Antiques and Joshua. Joshua was extremely helpful in taking the time to view photos of these pieces and offer his opinion. As I live in a country where anyone with this knowledge is limited his comments on the pieces were well taken. I cant stress enough how much I appreciated the professionalism and expeditious way my query was handled.
What a wonderful experience!Josh is so very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history of the pieces in our collection.He made us a very fair offer and was really pleasurable to deal with.We would highly recommend his services to anyone wishing to get an honest and fair appraisal on their valuables!Thank you Josh
Last weekend our church hosted an Antiques, Collectibles and Appraisal Day with Josh Chamberlain and his associate running the appraisal part. It was such a success and so much fun for both the participants and bystanders watching. The feedback I heard was he was so knowledgeable, both off-the-cuff and after some consultation and brief research. He exhibited some very lovely and valuable pieces as examples of fine antiques, but he was still so respectful of the things people brought in and so kind when he had to inform them that they were not quite the value they had hoped for. And then, some very interesting objects turned up throughout the day. It was the highlight of our event. I highly recommend his services and hope to continue to be able to consult and work with him.
Josh came highly recommended from a close friend who also used his services. We had a house full of antiques, artifacts and collectibles that was curated over 30 years and we were looking for someone to fairly value most of what we had and help us sell a good portion of our things - a big task to say the least. Needless to say, Josh was very easy to work with. Hes honest, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, making our experience with him great.Would I work with Josh again? Absolutely! Would I recommend Josh to a friend? Yes! Best thing about working with Josh? Hes honest, very fair, and resourceful. If he cant do it, he knows someone that may. All in all, a wonderful experience especially in a dimensioning antiques market. Glad to know there are people out here passionate about keeping the antiques/collectibles market alive. Thank you again Josh.
Joshua came to my house in NH to look over a small collection of Asian artifacts from my parents estate. He was very forthcoming with knowledge about each piece and explained what determines its value. His experience and knowledge of the market was most impressive. He wrote out a check and packed up what he wanted and was off! A pleasure to work with! I took several business cards to hand out to friends!
We surfed the internet for a trustworthy business in the area and decided on Chamberlain Antiques. We were not disappointed and we are very happy we choose them to sell some of our estate items. Joshua Chamberlain proved himself to be an honest and respectful businessman. We would definitely do business with him again and would refer him to our friends. Thank you Josh for educating us on the pieces we had and giving us some valuable advice. We are happy there are trustworthy and honest people we can turn too. We appreciate your knowledge of the business and your professionalism. We enjoyed meeting you.
I needed someone knowledgeable to offer guidance, as I assisted my parents in simplifying the contents of their home. A home that was full of loved pieces, passed along for generations. I contacted Josh to help us understand if pieces had value and how to have family discussions about sentiment/ joy vs value in the market. Josh joined me to tour the family home and was extremely sensitive and engaged in his conversations with my parents. His sideline advice to me has been insightful and given me an invaluable framework to better assist my parents and to have informed discussions with my brothers. It was a pleasure to work with Josh, he demonstrated the highest professionalism and honesty in his communications and in our dealings. I can highly recommend Chamberlain Antiques and Josh Chamberlain without reservation
Today 1/30/19 Joshua came to our home in Connecticut and appraised our items. He was honest and pleasant, and very knowledgeable about the items we had and about antiques in general.He gave us a thorough explanation about the value of the items at this time in our history and priced everything fairly. He gave us the check for the items immediately and packed them up to take to his shop in New Hampshire. I would highly recommend Joshua Chamberlain for any antique purchase or sale and would definitely use him again.
It has been a pleasure to deal with Josh at Chamberlain Antiques.Over the past year we have sold Josh many of our items from our collection and each time it went smooth, Josh was very honest and not to mention so knowledgeable in the field of Asian antiques.One thing that I can say is he never left us hanging he was quick to let us know what we had and was very fair with his offers.Overall it was a very pleasant experience and look forward to doing business again.
This father and son team came to our parents home when it was time to vacate and helped us sort out many items, from silverware to antique scrolls. They gave us very realistic advice and estimations of value. Joshua in particular was eager to educate us about his assessments of antique ceramic items, and seemed extremely knowledgeable about the entire history of Asian art. It could have been a dismal experience to let go of our parents accumulated possessions, but Joshua was so helpful and sincere that we felt confident and comfortable. I would recommend Chamberlain antiques without question to anyone who needs an honest appraisal and favorable selling opportunity.
I had the pleasure of visiting Chamberlain Antiques shop recently while in search of vintage plates that I use for my business. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and most-importantly knowledgeable about the items I was looking for. I was so impressed with their knowledge of the history behind each item and also about the scope of items that they had expertise on. Walking through the shop and having them tell me about many of the items was like being on Antiques Roadshow. They even went above and beyond and let me look through some inventory they had packed away in the back. They offer free appraisals anytime, and are some of the most honest and trustworthy people in the business--and believe me, I go to a LOT of antique shops, many are not as honest or knowledgeable. If you dont have time to visit Josh and his staff at the shop, you can always get your items appraised on Tuesday mornings at 8:20 a.m. on 90.7 FM (NH radio station). He has a great show that you can listen to online and call in for appraisals. Great shop, great people, looking forward to visiting again!
I have personally worked with Josh and recommended friends to Chamberlain Antiques who were looking to sell antiques they had either collected or inherited. The free appraisals were much appreciated!It is refreshing to find someone in the business who deals in honesty and integrity. If Josh is not knowledgeable about what you have, he will tell you so.If you have questions about buying or selling, Chamberlain Antiques is the place to call.
Joshua was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He assessed several pieces of antiques that we had in our family for many years-- he replied promptly and honestly. We ended up selling him a highboy. He came to our home, explained the history of the piece to us (hes very knowledgable), and gave us an honest, fair price. I would work with him again, no question!
We contacted Chamberlain Antiques when we had to quickly empty my fathers apartment and wanted to know if there were art pieces of value with which we should take special care to sell. Joshua Chamberlain was most accommodating and made the trip to us to evaluate the pieces we were concerned about....without charging us. He was extremely pleasant to work with and took several hours explaining various points about antiques, what to look for and how to better assess whether items had value.His input and care made a difficult and stressful situation much easier. I would highly recommend him.
Cleaning out an estate after the death of a family member is challenging. Josh and his team were extremely professional and helpful, taking time to meticulously sort through items, provide information on value, and suggestions on best way to liquidate items. I would highly recommend Chamberlain Antiques for appraisals or auction needs.
I couldnt be more thrilled with the experience of selling some of my Chinese collectibles to Josh at Chamberlain Antiques. Josh came to my home and told me about all the pieces collected by my grandparents in the beginning of the 19th century. Together, we selected pieces that he was interested in buying. His integrity and knowledge made me feel comfortable that I was getting a fair price and it was a wonderful feeling not to have my closets filled with things I no longer used. I only wish there was a Josh to buy things in every type of antique collectible. I highly recommend him.
Ive done business with Josh and his family going back over ten years and its always been a pleasure. They have always been straight forward, knowledgeable and responsive.A few years ago Josh and I worked together in selling a significant collection of Asian items and it went without a hitch and it all did extremely well.I cannot recommend him and Chamberlain Antiques more highly.
Working with Chamberland Antiques and Josh has been a pleasure, despite rather difficult circumstances. In assisting with my parents estate, he accomodated travel necessary, was uncompromisingly honest, offering valuable insight and advice. We found him sensitive to our particular needs and dependable. The end result was being able to proceed with a sense of trust, providing a worthwhile experience due to his strong sense of professionalism and integrity/ethics, so lacking today in many business endeavors. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending his services - I assure you, you will not be disappointed.
Josh was kind enough to go out of his way to stop at my home with his associate. His comments about my items were thoughtful and sensitive. It was a pleasure dealing with them.
We Have been doing business with Josh at Chamberlain Antiques for the past year. We have been pleased with his honesty and integrity!
Honest and informative, highly recommended..
