What Our Clients Say

A mere review is inadequate to describe the remarkable accomplishments of Decatique. Ivan and Diane brought professionalism, expertise, and genuine care to what could have been an overwhelming process. They exceeded every expectation.

Less than one week after the 3-day sale was over, he provided a check and detailed accounting, while also cleaning out the house. The entire process was smooth, professional, and far exceeded our expectations.

The team demonstrated great care and respect for our mother's vast collections. They handled a four-floor house filled with books and antiques with professionalism and expertise we didn't find elsewhere.

I 100% would put them up against any other team and without a doubt know they would be better! Their knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care for the items and the family made all the difference.

98% of the contents of the house was addressed. Their thoroughness was remarkable - they found value in items we would have simply discarded. The final accounting was detailed and the payment was prompt.

Having an estate sale for a home your family lived in for 96 years is a daunting experience. Ivan and Diane of Decatique Studios were the perfect people to help. They were a joy to work with... upbeat, knowledgeable, respectful and hard working.

Diane broke down in tears at the sight of my father's costume jewelry collection. That emotional connection, combined with their expertise in identifying and pricing designer pieces, made them the right choice for us.

Ivan is the best. In the Chicagoland area when it comes to finding a trustworthy estate sale company to sell your valuables there are few as smart as Ivan and Diane in their approach to hosting a sale. Decatique is special.

Item exactly as described, shipped quickly and packaged with care. This seller clearly knows their vintage jewelry - the piece was even better than the photos suggested. Will definitely buy again!
