By Appointment. With Intention.

Because our work is relationship-driven and our inventory is globally sourced, we operate primarily by appointment—both in person and virtually.

This approach allows us to:

  • Give sellers the time and discretion their assets deserve
  • Provide buyers thoughtful guidance rather than rushed decisions
  • Maintain the level of care, privacy, and expertise our clients expect

Whether you are selling a single piece, an inherited collection, or sourcing something exceptional, our process is designed to be personal, efficient, and respectful of value—yours and ours.

Luxury is personal.
So is trust.

A Trusted Buyer in Every Market

What sets us apart is not just expertise in one category—but earned credibility across many.

Clients around the world choose Vintage Contessa & Times Past because we are known for honorable buying, consistent presence, and decisive execution.

We are frequently contacted by:

  • Private collectors
  • Estates and families
  • Wholesalers and trade partners
  • Individuals seeking clarity, not pressure

Our long-standing activity in watches, handbags, jewelry, gold, silver, and coins allows sellers to work with one trusted buyer, even when holdings span multiple asset types. Sellers value that we:

  • Evaluate assets holistically, not in silos
  • Offer straightforward, market-aligned pricing
  • Act decisively when value is present
  • Provide immediate payment—we write the check

For many, this means fewer conversations, clearer guidance, and a transaction rooted in trust rather than uncertainty.
