"I guess its apparent that I don't check in enough on this comment section. Thank you for the kind words. Its great to get feedback both positive and negative.. Best.. JB"
I arrived at his place of business on time and was greeted at the door by him. I'm not sure what kind of person I expected to meet and found myself shaking hands with an affable and warm person. He invited my dog in from the car, handed her off to his assistant, then assisted in removing my items from my vehicle. We proceeded into his and quot;officeand quot; which felt like one of the most incredible art exhibits I'd ever laid my eyes on (keep in mind I've been in the art business for over 22 years and have traveled the world and been in the very best museums.) I was in a kind of heaven quite frankly.
We sat down and chatted for a bit about our own histories and adventures in the art trade as well as how I had come into these African works of art for which I was seeking basic verbal appraisal information. He was open to answering all of my questions about his knowledge base and how he came into his profession. It was fascinating to say the least. He took his time in reviewing the various pieces. I was pleased he did not rush through the process. His ability to identify the art was uncanny and including the regions, tribes, materials, dateline of creation and current market value as well as including some really great anecdotes. I sat with my notepad jotting down the information for which he was very patient. John gave me all the information I was seeking and then some. My experience with him was far greater than I could have ever imagined and his fee was very reasonable and well worth it.
I have since been able to sell half my collection with confidence for which I was in the dark prior to our meeting.
I highly recommend his excellent professional services!!!
