As
one of the leading antique and consignment shops in South Florida, True
Treasures offers an Estate Liquidation Program specifically designed for
estate attorneys as well as real estate agents.
After
evaluation, True Treasures will purchase or accept as consignment
the entire contents of an estate or specific items. We also handle
other details from the complete pick-up and sale to thoroughly cleaning
the condo or home. Leaving everything in top condition and ready
for resale or immediate occupancy is a service we take pride in.
True Treasures has proudly
represented more than 16,000 consignors who count on the 15 years
of consignment experience and her design background, owner Elena
Johnson will price your treasure fairly and present them professionally.
An
honest dealer will pay ten to twenty percent of the sale price on
items he purchases. If you consign with us, you will receive 50%
of the selling price and 40% if a dealer or designer purchases the
items. We offer a 10% discount to members in the trade.
We
recommend that new clients visit our two shops prior to making a
decision to consign household items. We take pride in our ability
to obtain a fair price for these items. Our reputation and how we
merchandise consignments, along with the ambience of our showrooms,
should ideally be confirmed prior to making any commitment to consign
with True Treasures.
By viewing our facilities of a combined 19,000 square feet, you
will have confidence in our ability and that your consignments will
get the best of care. And, of course, our consignor list of over
7,000 is available to you at request.
We
are aware that parting with an estate or a treasured belonging can
be a stressful and emotional experience. We think of ourselves as
an adoption agency an take pride in finding the right home for your
treasures. We are often asked about the history of a certain piece
and enjoy passing along its story when it is known.

The
excesses of the nineties brought forth a new venue for shoppers
- namely, the consignment shop. The "recycle era", as
I am fond of calling it, has produced many of these shops, yet only
a few flourish through our thriving community.
True
Treasures is the leading consignment shop in the south and has been
in business for fifteen years.
After
a thorough examination of the merchandise, I rely on those fifteen
years in business and thirty-five years as an interior designer,
to determine the correct price. If necessary, I refer to our pricing
library, or call on Mr. David Miller, a certified appraiser and
expert in many facets of appraising.

Because
a shop such as ours is often entrusted with very valuable items,
we feel strongly that an intense background check should be required
for any individual seeking a license to open a consignment shop.
Presently, we at True Treasures are working to strengthen Florida's
licensure laws. This would help protect prospective consignors,
senior citizens, and the loved ones who may not be able to determine
the proper value of items they may wish to consign. After all, when
anyone enters into a partnership agreement, honesty and integrity
should be assured.
