Wonderful Auction House!!!
Impeccable, hard to find unique items. Even better in person. We have worked with Rago both on and offline (on LA) for many years now. They are always professional. We enjoy using LA because of the ease and just pay the additional fee. Excellent auction house! David and his team are just the best!

Excellent item. Easy shipping.
I normally cringe when an auction house doesn't have in house shipping. But Rago has a close relationship with a local UPS store. The whole thing went smoothly.
