Estate appraisals and auctions for Winter Park
A Tiffany town, and it shows in the estates: leaded glass, American art pottery and decorative arts surface in Winter Park houses at a rate nowhere else in Florida matches. There is a reason for that, and it is four blocks from Park Avenue.

What we look for here
- Leaded glass and lighting
- Tiffany Studios, Handel, Duffner & Kimberly and the better unsigned leaded shades. Signature, patination and the shade-to-base pairing are what separate four figures from six.
- American art pottery
- Rookwood, Newcomb College, Van Briggle, Weller and Roseville — marked, dated and attributed to the decorator where the cipher allows it.
- American decorative arts and silver
- Arts and Crafts metalwork, period furniture, and American silver from the houses around the Chain of Lakes.
- Fine art and works on paper
- The paintings, prints and drawings bought through the Park Avenue galleries and out of Rollins connections over the last sixty years.

The process
How it works
01
Tell us what you have
A few photos and a sentence. No account, no paperwork, no charge.
02
We schedule a collection
Central Florida is covered by scheduled trips. Smaller consignments can ship instead — we will tell you which makes sense.
03
We recommend a route
Live auction, gallery or private sale, chosen per piece — and a straight answer on whatever will not sell.
04
You are paid when it sells
Photography, cataloguing, marketing and handling are ours. No upfront cost to you.
Free appraisal
Tell us what you have
Photographs and a sentence about the situation are enough to start. We will tell you what is worth selling at auction, what is not, and what it is likely to bring — before anyone commits to anything.
If there is a deadline — a closing, a clearance, a probate date — say so and we will work to it.
(561) 987-7200Questions we get
Before you call
- Are you actually located in Winter Park?
- No. Mayells is based in Palm Beach County and serves Central Florida through scheduled collection trips, which is why we give you a firm date rather than a vague one.
- How do I know whether a lamp is really Tiffany?
- Signature is the start and not the end — bases and shades were separated and recombined for a century, and there are good period contemporaries worth real money in their own right. Photographs of the shade, the base, and any stamps will usually let us tell you before anyone travels.
- Is it worth shipping a consignment to a Palm Beach auction?
- For art pottery, glass and jewelry, almost always — they travel well and the buyer pool is national regardless of where the sale is held. For a house full of large furniture the arithmetic is different, and we will say so.
