Upper Kirby Estates, In Trusted Hands

Upper Kirby draws from the residential character of River Oaks and West University to the north and west, and the cultural density of Montrose and the Museum District to the east. It's a neighborhood where long-established families and newer arrivals coexist — and where the estates we encounter tend to be as varied as the people who built them.

What they share, more often than not, is quality — furniture chosen with care, art acquired over time, and objects that meant something to the people who owned them. That's exactly what we're equipped to handle.

Our gallery on Taft Street in Midtown is less than two miles away. When we bring an Upper Kirby estate to our showroom, it reaches collectors and buyers from across the city who understand what they're looking at.

We start with a walkthrough — a thorough, unhurried review of everything in the property. We identify what has real value, what belongs in a gallery sale, and what might warrant a private placement with a specific buyer. We tell you what we think honestly, before any commitment is made.

For most Upper Kirby estates, our gallery sale is the right answer. We handle everything: cataloging, staging, marketing, the sale itself, and the clearance afterward. You receive a full accounting and a property left clean.

If speed and certainty matter more than maximizing every item, our cash buyout is available as well — one offer, one payment, and we handle the rest.

Upper Kirby estates frequently include pieces that benefit from specialist knowledge: Texas art, mid-century furniture by recognized designers, decorative antiques, estate jewelry, and silver. A generalist will often miss the mark on value — either undervaluing what's significant or overvaluing what isn't.

Our team brings decades of expertise in exactly these categories. We document each significant item with provenance, condition notes, and current market comparables — and we make sure nothing of value goes unrecognized.
