Art Deco
Collection

Hey Richard!
Thanks for sending this wonderful piece. That is some provenance indeed. Stunning art. We appreciate the consideration but not sure we are interested at this moment. We are working on some new features to our home where something this exquisite might work in future. That said, I’m sure a collector will surely come along before no doubt. We always love the provenance and documentation for key pieces. It’s essential. So many art forgeries over the year (yes we had a forged Dali in past….way past thankfully) we have learned to only deal with top and well pedigreed firms (Heritage,Sotheby’s, Profiles in History etc) and we include YOU in our mix of trusted antique and ephemera friends. Thanks again for some stellar items in our homes! The new lamp looks great in our cabin! Cheers my friend!

Hi, Thanks so much for checking in on our radio purchase. It looked amazing in the space, and everyone loved it! A real win! We really appreciate you helping us get it there in time for the event. There was a huge flurry of activity in preparation for the event, so I don’t have pictures of the finished space, but here is a picture during install. It adds so much character to the Speakeasy room and sounds awesome too!

Hello Mr. Rick and Laurie!
We just returned last evening. A week ago today was a highlight of our excursion, meeting you both and finally seeing the unspeakably marvelous treasure trove that is, Art Deco Collection!!! That’s my ultimate “candy store!” Deco Eye Candy… The best! Thanks so much for opening up the store for us and spending time with us. It was such a delight! And the icing on the deco cake was the surprise of The Marabou Lounge! OMG! You’re just too much. Cheers!

Greetings Richard,
We received the desk lamp last evening and are totally thrilled with it. This was a great experience… I greatly appreciate the time you took to answer my many questions and making the videos and the pictures really helped. It is such a beautiful vintage piece and beyond our expectations. Thanks for the quick shipping and I don’t believe I have every received an item that was more expertly packaged to arrive in perfect condition. Thanks for your personal card and it is a wonderful anniversary present. Thanks again. I posted a review and I can certainly see why you have all 5 star reviews.

Hello,
Richard was EXCELLENT to deal with and provided an accurate assessment of the exceptional bar I purchased. It has become a focal point of my lounge area and I highly recommend Richard and his team

Hello,
Richard was extremely helpful and provided a lot of information while I was making my purchase decision. When the bar arrived, it was 100% as advertised. The bar was beautifully restored and will make an amazing addition to my pub room.

Hello,
The piece is so incredible. The seller showed such great respect for me and the item by packaging it so well. It arrived quickly and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much.

Hello,
Couldn’t be happier with the product and experience. It’s a bit intimidating purchasing a device of nearly 100 years old on-line but the seller answered all my questions and packaged it beautifully and securely. It arrived on-time and in as-advertised condition. A great show piece for music lovers.

Hello,
I love the art deco clock I purchased from Richard. He was gracious and helpful in answering my questions. I hope to purchase other beautiful things from him in the future.

Hi Rick,
I’ve worked with individuals and dealers around the world. Art Deco Collection is the best, and I always return. Across decades, this is my first, and now last stop for anything I need.

Hi Rick,
I received this item a few days ago! I was behind on opening packages and just opened it today. It’s lovely! Thank you,

Hi Rick,
Absolutely gorgeous and exactly as listed! Packaged well and received with thanks!

Hi Rick,
Just received the frame. It is even better than I anticipated. I love it! I will continue to browse your items and hope to do business again.

Thank you Rick and Laurie for all the gems, wisdom, and advice. You both are one of a kind and we felt so much at home visiting you in your “palace of the gods” with all the phenomenal anterooms or should I say King Tut chambers.

Nothing but the best for both of you because YOU DESERVE IT!

With admiration,

I have been a client of Rick Fishman’s since 1993. No one I’ve ever met in my extensive travels and collecting knows more about art deco, has a better eye, or more discriminating taste than Mr. Rick. He has been, for me, an irreplaceable mentor and friend. BTW, his warehouse/shop in Oakland, California has to be seen to be believed. 7500 sq. ft. of the most exquisite art deco material, all superbly lit and beautifully displayed (and polished! how does he keep his stuff so beautifully polished?). I’ve never seen the likes of Rick’s shop anywhere.

Hugs for Laurie

Thanks, Richard (and apologies for the delay in my response); the package arrived a few days after you sent it out.
The statue is stunning, but the attention to detail in packaging the statue was a close second!
I look forward to purchasing from you again shortly.
