If I could give more stars I would. I recently bought several pieces of antique clothing at one of Dove Places Antiques' estate sales. Not only were the pieces some of the most lovely I've ever come across, but Robin was a joy to work with and her pricing was more than fair. Robin responded to my questions prior to the sale and was knowledgeable, attentive, and lovely while I was there. The same is true of her staff. I will keep an eye out for Dove Place estate sales in the future. It was a real pleasure and I couldn't be happier with my purchases. Thank you! read more

Yesterday my wife and I biked over to an estate sale in San Rafael hosted by Dove Place Antiques. The items and family treasures for sale were clearly marked and beautifully organized. We really felt welcomed! When it was time to leave I thought I had searched everywhere, but I could not find my bike lock key. We were stuck! We went back inside to search. Robin and her team were so helpful! They looked with us. Just as I was ready to give up, Robin found the key on the bedroom floor. The whole experience of arriving, browsing, (and searching) was met with such friendliness and a palpable dedication to service. Five stars for Dove Place Antiques! read more

I'm thrilled, as Dove Place in San Anselmo has re-opened after many months of being closed. Robin's filled the shop with beautiful and interesting Antiques- finally a place to shop in person. read more

When my mother-in-law passed away, to say that I was overwhelmed was an understatement. I had more collectables than I could comprehend what to do with. I searched the internet and after reading many reviews decided to call upon A Dove Place Antiques to help me. The minute I met Robin I knew I had made the right decision. I immediately felt as though I had made a new best friend and that I was in the best care possible. From start to finish, they have been wonderful! I can't say enough. I trust them 100% and just appreciate them beyond words can express. read more

I think this whole Mom and Pop, Son and Dog business is the place to go after retirement with your unwanted silver, crystal and whatever. They are very honest and reputable and know what can be done with your family treasures as you downsize."They have been in Marin a long time and know others that can help you to discard other pieces that they don't handle. read more

When we needed to sell hundreds of items from my mother-in-law's estate - from jewelry, to silver, to fine porcelain, china, etc. - they were so helpful. They came to our house, packed it up very carefully, set good prices, and took care of everything. All we had to do was relax - they got it done! They are very honest, and would call if something wasn't selling to see if we should soften the price or not. Robin would tell me about upcoming antique or jewelry shows where my mother-in-law's items that were still left would be seen. Because of all of their years in the business, they also have hundreds of contacts for selling any items they have, and actually recommended an auction house for a few things when they felt we could get a better price that way. They are a fine, upstanding family and business, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them highly! read more

When my father passed away, the folks at Dove Place were absolutely incredible in both their ability to take care of his estate items, and to provide a genuine sense of caring for his items and our family. These folks are NOT the normal sleezeballs that you typically experience in this business. They were wonderful, professional, and did a great job. read more

I love Dove Place and what makes it so good is it's family run and Robin, Wayne and Matt have been over the top helpful. I lost both parents the last few years and my father was an organized "horder". 2,3, and 20 of practically every item. Antiques and photo's galore. It started years ago with the first horder my grandfather and now the coup de gras my Dad. My brother in law rented a U-haul for one drop off of Chinese Antiques that were stored for 40 years in a shed in the back of the house we grew up in. Not to mention the shop in the back yard of where we grew up with the old guns and swords, radio, ancient sewing machine and tapestry chairs with the carved wood backs. That's only a taste...then theres the place they lived with the workshop in the back... We had costume jewlery and non-costume jewlery in boxes from every deceased woman that was in the family lineage in boxes...the mahogany carvings, the cases of silverware, lamps, paintings, nudes etc. Needless to say...what a service they provide. She also did a 60/40 split on most of the items. Other places often a 50/50 split. They are honest and Robin showed me how to determine value of gold and silver and how to tell if items are sterling or not and how to find the worth based on the market value. I asked if I'm the largest provider of items and the largest family with horders they have seen and much or maybe not much to my surprise she said YES. Can you believe it the most!!. UGH no wonder we are all so tired in my family and still not completed yet. What allies thru the process of grieving, trying to run a practice and then clearing out the estate with siblings...Exhausting but they made it so much easier. The siblings are ready to fall over backwards too. read more

We had the good fortune to connect with Robin, Wayne and Matt Wechsler of Dove Place Antiques when we needed help in liquidating the entire contents of a family member's home. The Wechsler's response was immediate. The process began with a free in-home walk-thru and consultation. They researched and provided realistic market values for many of the items which included antique furniture, artwork, jewelry, sterling silver pieces, gold, fine china, vintage clothing and household furnishings collected during the past 50 years. Robin did an excellent job setting up and managing a very successful 3-day estate sale. Other items sold on their e-Bay site and at antique shows in the area. Needless to say, we were thrilled that so many of the possessions found new homes, and we never could have done this without the expert advice, support and guidance of Dove Place Antiques. read more

Robin and Wayne, who own and run business this business, provide exceptional service and care in selling your family treasures and collectibles. We had to liquidate some antiques and collectible and were not sure of the values for many of the items. Robin and Wayne did extensive research to determine exactly what we had, how much it could be worth and the best way to sell it. As a result of their efforts, we realized more than 10 times the price at which we were thinking of selling certain items. For example, we had a Tiffany style lamp that we thought would sell for maybe $800 or $900. We realized a sales price of over $15,000! Even lesser collectibles, such as vintage shaving mugs fetched prices of as much as $600 for a single mug! Robin and Wayne are very honest and they itemize their accounting for all sales. They are also not at all upset if you decide at the last minute you can't part with something and pull it back from sale. Working with Dove Place Antiques is a great experience and you will come away with two new friends. read more

Robin is wonderful. I love buying and selling with her. She is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. Been coming here for years and it's always a pleasure. read more

I am so glad there are still antique sellers who take the time to know the history behind their wares. This was only my second time visiting the shop, but I have really enjoyed talking with Robin about antique silver. You really get the sense that the pieces in Robin's store are entrusted to her by their owners or their families. I had a friendly welcome into the shop on both visits. The store's collection is beautifully displayed and prices are very reasonable. The items range from small, individual, very affordable pieces to larger pieces for when you are ready to make a bigger investment in your collection. If you are a fan of British hall marked silver like me, put this store on your short list of places to visit. read more

Robyn, who rune Dove Place, is a woman of real integrity and she is a dream to deal with. She gives the most generous of any consignment price and works really hard to sell you stuff. I'd never go anywhere else to sell my antiques. Highly recommended! read more

Robin - moody, quirky, strange. If items aren't priced, don't bother asking. She'll work with glacial speed to get them for you. Been going for years, but the last experience tore it for me. No more of this. read more
