I'm Rosario - and I Love What I Do.

I’ve been buying antiques, jewelry, and fine art for over 25 years. But the real reason I do this? The people. The stories. The connection.

I was born in Sicily and raised in Astoria. I’ve met people from all walks of life — and every time, there’s a connection.

Maybe it’s something in the universe. I had a woman on the phone once — we’d never met, but it turned out we were both born in Sicily, both raised in Astoria, and even had the same name in our family. That’s what I love about this business.

​

But for me, it goes even deeper.

​

I’m proud to be the fourth generation in my family to do this work. My great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all in this business before me — buying, selling, appraising, and most importantly, building trust with every person they met. I’m honored to carry that tradition forward, with the same integrity they taught me.

 

People come to me with things that matter. Sometimes they’re letting go of a piece of family history. Sometimes they just need someone they can trust. Either way, I take it seriously.

​

I don’t do pressure. I tell people the truth. If something has value, I’ll tell you. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you that too. You decide what feels right.

​

That’s how I work — honest, simple, and respectful. Always.

I Help People Sell:

  • Gold, silver, and antique jewelry

  • Oil paintings, rugs, bronzes, porcelain, and fine art

  • Full estates, individual items, and everything in between

No pressure. No gimmicks. Just a conversation. 

Rosario was truly GREAT! He was very friendly, patient, professional and honest. He spent over 2 hours with me explaining and helping me understand every thing from the type of furniture, to the time era and why it had value. With over 40 years of experience, he's a wealth of knowledge and really has a great eye for antiques. We looked at some glassware and at first didn't see any markings, but it kept bothering him, so at a second glance he found it was of my more valuable pieces. In my opinion, he went above and beyond; even tried to help me find a buyer, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
