Free Estate Consultations
Lost Eras provides all consultations free of charge. While other Milwaukee antique buyers may charge for appraisals we never do.
Half a Century in Business
There are many people in Milwaukee who may want to walk into your house and make you an offer on your family heirlooms. We have been entrusted to purchase the contents of hundreds if not thousands of homes. Our philosophy of friendship and honesty has brought us continued trust for over half a century.
Transparent Offers
We pride ourselves on being honest and transparent about how we value your goods and make an offer to you and your family. Although we are here to make a profit we do our best to let you know what you have and what its worth.
Our Family Promise
Fairness, Friendliness and Professionalism
Our family has been in the antiques business for three generations and has established a reputation of not only professionalism but of relationship building. When buying and selling we often keep contact with our former clients and get repeated business through their referrals.
