Now, with their second location in downtown Oakville, they are excited to serve the many clients, enthusiasts and admirers who came from different parts further west of Toronto for their appraisal and auction services. The full-service auction house specializes in a wide range of fine, decorative and Asian arts as well as estate jewellery. A.H. Wilkens also provides appraisals on personal property, estate or probate and family division and for insurance purposes. "An appraisal of your home, assets, antiques or family heirlooms will arm you with the knowledge of knowing what you own, what you have inherited and how much it is worth," said Matthew Riches who is at the helm of the Oakville location with his wife Julie Riches and Kelly Smith. With many years of experience within the industry, they are well-respected and are known for their knowledge and trustworthiness. For larger collections and estates, Riches explained they provide an on-site visit to the home and provide a full written or verbal appraisal. Smaller items or single collections can be appraised by email with attached images, or better yet, they encourage visitors to the downtown Oakville location and have an open-door policy. The auction house is located in downtown Oakville at 210 Lakeshore Rd. E., in Towne Square.
