About Us
Max is a second-generation antiques dealer whose journey into the world of vintage treasures began at his father's side. From the time he was old enough to walk, Max accompanied his father on excursions to shops, auctions, flea markets, and trade shows. These experiences served as his classroom, where he learned the nuances of the business firsthand.
Max's father also operated an estate liquidation company, and Max eagerly absorbed the ins and outs of this aspect of the trade. He became adept at appraising items, negotiating deals, and orchestrating estate sales. This comprehensive education laid the foundation for Max's own venture into the industry.
Today, Max is the proud owner of 21st Century Antiques, a thriving estate liquidation service. The business offers a range of services, including in-person estate sales, online estate auctions, buyouts, and cleanouts. Max and his team collaborate closely with real estate agents and estate attorneys to streamline the process of liquidating estates, ensuring that houses are ready for sale in a timely manner.
With his deep-rooted knowledge and a commitment to providing top-notch service, Max has built a reputation as a trusted partner in the estate liquidation industry. At 21st Century Antiques, Max continues to honor his family's legacy while embracing the demands of the modern market.

This auction pick up was well organized, plenty of staff to direct you, very pleasant people. The only less than optimal comment I have is that I had reached out via email 2 days prior to ask about the pick up environment. The piece I purchased was rather big and heavy. I never got a response so I assumed it was as described for all the other items, outside on loading level. Past moving experiences had me prepared for some heavy lifting anyway. I was driving over an hour to pick up, sent the ETA text 30 mins prior as requested and 10 minutes before arrival received a call, which I missed, and then a text asking if I was prepared (man power, etc) to remove the item from the 2nd floor. The item as mentioned was massive for the space it had to moved through a tight doorway, hallway, narrow turning stair, etc. all of which I had asked about in the email and would have brought an additional hand for if I knew. So long story short, the communication could use some sprucing up. All in all it was a good experience and I would purchase from them again.

Item well described and lots of images. Pick up information very clear.
Seller did not respond to numerous emails sent asking for recommendations for a local company that could pick up, pack and ship to me in NY. I found one on my own. If they prefer not to recommend places, I understand. But at least write back and say sorry, we don't/won't/can't.
