Around the 22nd of each month, we accept a limited number of approved Estates. "Estates" refer to collections of items—such as antiques, collectibles, art, jewelry, furniture, rugs, and other valuables—submitted by an individual or estate representative (e.g., executor, heir, or attorney) for sale in the shop. This typically follows an unforeseen life event, such as a move, downsizing, or a death in the family.

• All Estates are accepted by appointment only. Drop-ins are not permitted. Please contact our Estates Manager at 713-528-5095 ext. 906 to schedule.
• Please itemize the contents of each box. Refer to the “Estate” form for detailed instructions.
• Label each item discreetly with your account number using a sticker or tape.
• Furniture and artwork must be pre-approved with measurements and descriptions submitted to the Estates Manager. Space is limited, and proper planning helps us display your pieces effectively.
• Estate owners are responsible for transporting their items to The Guild Shop at their own expense. Approved Estate drop-offs take place on Welch Street, just around the corner from our main entrance on Dunlavy.
• We also accept donations during business hours at the Welch Street drop-off location.
• For inquiries about designer clothing (haute couture brands), please contact our Designer Clothing/Accessories Manager at 713-528-5095 ext. 930.

The consignor must be the legal owner of the items or have legal authorization to sell them on behalf of an estate.

Current consignors may not schedule both an estate and a consignment unless previously approved by management.
