I first came across Akiba looking to buy odds and ends such as coins, music boxes, and WW2 memorabilia. I’ve been buying and consigning solely with Akiba for the last three years. Whatever I purchase always arrives on time and accurately fits the description of the lot. The employees there also are very helpful and passionate about antiquitiesA+ would definitely recommend
Like so many auction houses in South Florida, they have, at times, resorted to selling fake Russian antiques. I bought Russian lacquered boxes from them at a hefty price and the boxes turned out to be cheap prints pasted onto boxes which I think are not even lacquered, but some cheap imitation. Just be warned when you see Russian stuff that it could be fake and almost worthless. I have my suspicions about other items that keep appearing at Akiba, but without proof I will not say more. Be very, very careful with this auction gallery as they will NOT disclose that certain made-to-look-old objects are counterfeit.
First-class auction house.I have been an Akiba client for 2-3 years.They are professional and transparent (which is atypical for many other auction houses in the South Florida area). Staff is both knowledgeable and friendly— they will always take the time to answer your questions / work out a reasonable arrangement.I would recommend to any collector who is looking to buy or sell; they will not disappoint.
I purchased a bronze statue for an amazing price. Came quick and looked as great as it did in the photos. The staff is amazing. Go to Marco for all your needs!!!!!!!
Marco was a great help. Helped me find the items I wanted which I later managed to score during auction! Cant wait for the porcelain set to come in
Unique and exclusive merchandise. Amazing service with very knowledgeable and hospitable staff! I will definitely be back!!
I’ve had nothing but positive experiences using Akiba Antiques. I’ve both bought and sold with them and will continue to do business with them. Jordan is very helpful and extremely professional.
Fake Designer sunglasses!Made in China.Be aware of this (fake items) auction “house”
Great place to sell antiques! Have made a good amount of money over the years working with Akiba
Purchased a diamond necklace for my girlfriend. Came in perfect condition and was just as described.
Really bad customer service, bought silverware and they couldnt find it when i went to pick it up, left my phone number so that somebody could call me when the found my stuff, never got a call and after 8 days i went to pick it up and i parked outside and the workers there were blaming me with hiting one of their cars, they even called the police and the officer investigated and saw that i didnt hit their car, awful place, they dont know how to treat customers
Amazing staff and great customer service! Couldnt be any happier!
Great shop with even better service!
Great auction house... always outstanding service and obviously very nice items on auction. I have very pleasant experience with them ... thank you
I adore going to thrift shops and finding goodies for myself as well as my home. So imagine my luck when I found this hole in the wall. The entire block was an antique community. I then realized I needed a vintage vanity. Marco was kind and gave me a tour of the auction house. No vanity’s this time but he showed me how to setup an alert on my phone for whenever they get one in. Customer service gets ten stars from me.
Jon and Alex were extremely helpful during my move. I wanted a few things to get consigned for auction but was overwhelmed with transporting the 4 large pieces to their auction house. They told me to not worry, we setup an appointment to come to my house in the gables with their moving van and blankets to wrap the pieces. All this was arranged on my schedule which meant a lot. Shows their professionalism and obvious care for the client. Thanks guys!
Amazing customer service, Jon was very sweet and answered all the questions I had about consigning my items. I had been to other auction houses and did not feel their intentions to be genuine. I’m glad that I kept shopping around, found a place and staff that made me feel comfortable.
Was on my way to Hollywood beach when I came across this gem, didn’t know too much about the antique world and bidding except for ebay. Alex informed me on the process of the auctions. I thought they were held at the office like in the movies but it’s all online which is even better for me and my crazy work schedule. He let me know if I wanted to see something in person to just call them beforehand. Very nice group of ppl. Two thumbs up all around!
Sells absolute fakes - NEVER buy from here unless you can actually see the object in front of you.
Marco was very friendly and helpful. I easily got registered for future auctions and will definitely be a bidder!
I purchased a beautiful Persian rug from their gallery and am very pleased with their professionalism and ability to ship internationally with ease.
I originally dealt with Jonathan and he was extremely nice, gracious and professional. We did business and it was easy and seamless. Jonathan and Matt are very nice to deal with. They are a pleasure to do business with. If you are selling or wanting to place on auction, they are the folks you can trust! I highly recommend them. They are great!
Alexander and Matthew have been great to work with! They always go out of their way to make sure I am happy with each piece I buy. Couldnt be happier with the service! Highly recommend if you are looking for unique antiques!
In two different auctions, Ive had excellent service from Akiba Antiques. In one particularly difficult shipping situation, Alexander was extremely helpful and professional.
The worst experience everThey are a bunch of organized thieves that would look up your record and assets when dealing with your estate. To better know how to rob you on your auctioned treasures
I had a fantastic experience. Alexander and the team at Akibas was professional and diligent. They were not only fair but were able to find the right buyer for my antiques. I was very impressed with their knowledge and their organization. Should I decide to sell more of my antiques Akiba Antiques is where I am taking them. Thanks again guys!!
This auction house charges you a “Buyer’s Premium”, as if it is somehow a great privilege that you are allowed to buy from them. Just think about it. Would you go into any other business and pay this. Go into any major or minor retailer. Pick say $1000.00 in merchandise. You get your sales slip and they want $1250.00 plus any applicable taxes. You show them the mistake and they tell you it is a “Buyer’s Premium”. Would you pay it? Why pay it here? The hammer price is the same as the price in a retail shop. Why are you paying more?Just something to think about.
I can truly say that everything here is AMAZING, I bought an Antique Lamp for my mother, WOW she couldnt be any happier. I will continue making purchases from this auction house, due to the rare finds available. Thank YOU
Having Alexander and the entire Akiba Antiques team to turn to is truly a treasure, given just how crucial it is to deal with honest, trustworthy people (with whom so much is entrusted) in the context of buying/selling fine antiques, and the serious financial implications that might arise otherwise.
Beautiful Antiques, like going to a museum. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Rare art work and fine objects to be found -
She has repro furniture at astrocious prices....check other places before buying at this person shop, plus she is super stuck up.
Excellent
