Please see our website at www.syl-leeantiques.com for all our company details.
My experience with Adam was excellent. He’s a great guy—and, more importantly, was incredibly straightforward and transparent about how he arrived at the numbers he offered for my small collection of family silver I never used.
I received well above my guesstimate and couldn’t be happier.
It’s a true family business: Adam’s sister set up the appointment, responded within minutes to my questions, and was absolutely charming.
I recommend Syl-Lee unreservedly. If you’re hesitating about selling silver because you’re worried about haggling or being underpaid, just call them—you’ll be glad you did.
Two thumbs way up! Thanks, Adam!

First off I have to say these are super nice people my mother is getting older sold some things she wasn't supposed to sell I was very upset I called the owner of the company and he immediately went above and beyond to give me the items back to keep the things that we were happy to sell and it could not have been a better transaction. When the time comes I look forward to calling them again

Marion came to my apartment and took many pics. She was very nice. She said that her brother would call me and I never heard from them again. A gross waste of time.

Addendum:
Adam did call and apologize for not responding and suggested other contacts. It seems he called three of his clients who said that people are not collecting Art Deco anymore.
Funny, Elon Musk said "I love Art Deco" on Twitter. He publicly praised the Art Deco style as inspirational for his company's design.
Who can account for taste?
Thank you Adam.

Syl-Lee Antiques is one of the most honest places to do business in NYC. Adam is an outstanding business man that has the politeness and consideration from a by-gone era. He is an absolute gentleman, and you are safe having him in your home. I had to sell my things due to illness and debt, and was in a state of despair. However, Adam was so honest and kind that he made the whole ordeal a wonderful experience. A+++
