Working with your interior designers
As your new interior is designed, know that some new furnishings diminish in value by as much as 70%-80% on the secondary market, while other brands hold more of their value. This holds true for decorative arts, lighting and fine art. We can consult with your designer to recommend art and design that will beautify your home, hold value and harmonize with your designer’s vision. Or you can consult with us on choices you are considering and we will provide research to make purchasing decisions.
When it comes time to sell or donate you'll have the confidence that Luxury Literacy has planned for your next steps.

Father & Son Collectors Clubs for Cards and Sports Memorabilia
We're thrilled to launch the Father & Son Sports Cards and Memorabillia Collectors Club that kicks off the first weekend in February with a two-day intensive workshop in NYC taught by the lead appraiser for the world's largest grader of sports memorabillia, Michael Osacky who will share his 30 years of experience and best practices in sports card and memorabillia collecting. You'll connect with a community of sports-loving dads and sons, get market insights throughout the year and enjoy a private tour of Heritage Auctions marquee sports and memorabillia auction. And more. This is a rare opportunity to gain private access to Michael and his first-hand knowledge of collecting.
