We have dealt with Guernsey's and Arlan Ettinger for over 35 years and couldn't be happier! I highly recommend them!

Bidder/Buyer Review: 3.5 Stars…read more If you can get past the HORRIBLE clientele and some of the snooty staff, a Doyle viewing can be a nice way to pass the afternoon. I've stopped by for both their Provident Loan lockbox and Important Jewelry showings as well as some furniture/art viewings. Doyle isn't Christie's and it isn't trying to be. They cater to an older clientele and I'll be honest, some of the stuff is hideous. However, if you can look past the obvious duds, there are some real hidden gems here - no pun intended. Shopping at Doyle takes a keen eye and a good idea what you want. Many of the listings for diamond jewelry don't come with GIA or other detailed reports so you are best advised to do your homework and bring a jeweler's loupe. Appraisals and actual sale prices can vary wildly but unlike some of the major auction houses, you can sometimes find beautiful pieces that don't get bid up like crazy. Two of my favorite pieces that I wear almost daily are from Doyle and I get constant compliments. If you have an open mind and time to do some research, this can be a great resource for discerning buyers. However, I must say that coming into the showroom is a mixed experience. The full-time employees are friendly for the most part but the people they hire can be shockingly rude and easily flustered. I gather they must deal with some awful, entitled specimens in this venue, but is it really necessary to be so snippy? And yes, the visitors can be unnecessarily elitist and throw off weird vibes if you are younger.

WARNING TO ART COLLECTORS: Doyle NY and Katherine Curran are an Automated Joke!If you have…read moremuseum-quality antiquities or valuable estate art, stay far away from Doyle New York. They operate like a lazy corporate factory, dismissing high-end historical property via automated computer scripts without any real human inspection.I submitted a pristine Spanish High-Renaissance Chest through an official personal referral from Sotheby's. This is a monumentally significant piece featuring deep narrative reliefs of the 1492 Surrender of Granada and The Baptism of the Moors (based on Master Felipe Bigarny's 16th-century reliefs inside the Royal Chapel of the Granada Cathedral), complete with a massive, period-correct Habsburg eagle iron lock.The handling of this file by Katherine Curran (Seller Services Manager) and her team was an absolute masterclass in professional malpractice and laziness:The 19-Minute Decline: Exactly 19 minutes after my Sotheby's files were registered, Doyle fired off a standard automated rejection. It is physically and humanly impossible for an art specialist to conduct a real evaluation of a 450-year-old High-Renaissance treasure in 19 minutes. They didn't even open the photos. They simply saw a heavy object located in Florida and a quick decline to avoid Manhattan shipping logistics.The 4-Hour Contradiction: Nearly four hours LATER, their central system generated another official email explicitly titled: "Circle of Felipe Bigarny (c.1475-1542)", stating that my property was now forwarded to their actual specialists for consideration.When directly confronted about this embarrassing administrative mess, Katherine Curran chose to defend their broken computer system instead of correcting the error, claiming the 19-minute robot response was their "final answer." How can you officially decline a piece hours before your specialized department even logs into the file?!Doyle NY has zero internal communication, zero respect for art history, and zero professional integrity. Katherine Curran operates like a desk-jockey who is completely out of her depth when handling elite private collections. Do not waste your time with these corporate clowns. Take your certified assets to honest, high-end regional auction houses who actually look at your photos and treat collectors with dignity. Doyle is pathetic!
