1. We Buy Antiques

Quality antiques and vintage collectible items are purchased by Burlwood Antique Center. All Items must be genuinely old, and in very good condition. As a general rule of thumb, you may expect to receive an offer for approximately one-half of the anticipated selling price of your antiques and vintage collectibles. Rarity, condition, and desirability of an item can result in offers of more or less than one half of the selling price. Items may be brought to Burlwood for an offer, or in the case of large collections and estates, we can come to you.
