Ever wonder what a lifetime of collecting looks like? We do too—and we get to find out!

From time to time, collectors (or their families) ask us to find new homes for treasured pieces they've gathered over the years. We've grouped these items by estate so you can peek into someone's collecting journey—watching how their eye evolved, their tastes sharpened, and their passion deepened.

Most of these beauties are at least 30 years old, and we dig into their backstories whenever we can—where they were found, who sold them, all the good stuff.

We keep locations vague to protect collector privacy, because even treasure hunters deserve a little mystery.
