Testimonials
"I just purchased a gorgeous antique grandfather clock on the last auction ending 9/20/21. I purchased the clock and realized it was too tall for my home. The great staff at Schmitt Horan assisted me with additional measurements that were verified as how I could have the clock in my home only by removing a finial. They went above and beyond my expectations in assistance with the shipping and confirming other facts about the workings of the clock. They were very kind and professional and I am thrilled with the service and ease of making my purchase. Thanks to Daniel Horan and his staff for such great service."

"After my brother Bradley Ross's passing, his collector buddies helpfully recommended Schmitt Horan & Co. as the best auction house for his significant watch and antiques collections. Their advise was spot-on! Dan Horan came to the house, was totally empathic and pleasant to work with. He evaluated and advised how to best schedule and present Bradley's treasures. They were carefully transported and then cleaned and polished to their best possible condition before the auction. Importantly, Schmitt Horan & Co. advertised strategically to best reach those who would both appreciate and preserve his beloved collections. During the auction, the accurate information about each item produced higher bids than I had even imagined! I give Schmitt Horan & Co. a 10 star rating in every regard as someone you will enjoy working with and who will work FOR YOU!!!"

"Schmitt Horan is a hardworking, honest and knowledgeable firm that benefits the buyer and the seller. They are the only auction firm that provides such a comprehensive condition report which enable the buyers who are unable to attend to bid online or by phone with confidence. Schmitt Horan has a world wide following which ensures the seller the greatest amount of exposure. I recommend Schmitt Horan to you without reservation."

"I used Schmitt Horan & Co. to auction my highly specialized 50 year clock collection and I was delighted with both the results and the attention to detail they provided, and grossed nearly a seven figure result! They arrived, packed some 350 clocks, provided on the spot inventory lists and all clocks arrived with no damage whatever and made payment with no problems within weeks. Very satisfied from start to finish."

"I purchased a Gents clock in November of 2022, there was an issue locating the pendulum. A member of your staff worked to find it on the day of the auction, was unable to locate and said they would locate and ship for free. I was understanding and appreciated the effort.
Schmitt Horan & Co. did provide, shortly after, what appeared to be the correct pendulum, but it wasn't. You hosted a meeting of NAWCC Chapter 189 in April of 2023 and approached me about possibly locating the correct pendulum and turns out it was! Thanks for the follow through, it says a lot about your organization!
