Quality
First
John
Moran
Auctioneers
is
dedicated
to
the
approach
of
providing
a
unique
level
of
attention
and
service
to
individuals,
trustees
and
executors
seeking
appraisal
and
disposition
of
fine
art,
antiques,
quality
furnishings
and
jewelry.
Our
firm
is
ideally
structured
to
serve
as
your
single
resource
whether
the
need
is
the
sale
of
an
entire
estate,
a
personal
collection,
life
transition
or
coordinated
downsizing
(in
a
single
step
or
in
as
many
phases
as
you
require).
We
take
pride
in
offering
sensitive,
personal
attention
to
the
many
needs
of
our
clients
which
arise
with
the
disposition
of
family
property.
This
has
inspired
a
broad
range
of
personal
and
"concierge"
services
to
ensure
that
each
and
every
step
of
a
sale
is
addressed
to
your
satisfaction.
The
reputation
of
John
Moran
Auctioneers
is
strongly
established
as
a
result
of
unsurpassed
attention
to
the
needs
of
our
sellers
-
and
buyers
alike.
It
is
our
firm
belief
that
both
participants
in
a
sale
are
best
served
if
each
is
well
served.

Experience
We
are
a
family-owned
and
family-operated
business
founded
in
1970.
John
Moran
personally
conducts
each
of
the
14
or
more
auctions
the
firm
presents
each
year;
his
son
Jeff
Moran

daily
operations
and
manages
the
many
staff
members
who
inventory,
transport,
warehouse
and
help
display
for
bidding
each
piece
consigned
to
our
care.
While
we
employ
a
sizable
staff
to
ensure
the
highest
level
of
attention,
all
business
dealings
are
conducted
directly
with
John
or
Jeff
Moran.
From
start
to
finish
you
will
deal
exclusively
with
the
firm's
owners,
who
will
be
present
and
supervise
all
elements
of
your
transaction
and
sale.
During
the
past
three
decades
John
Moran

has
conducted
hundreds
of
successful
auctions,
including
large
estates,
private
and
corporate
collections
and
California
and
American
art
works
-
frequently
realizing
record
prices
for
our
clients.
Our
many
years
of
experience
allow
us
to
maintain
the
ability
to
fully
serve
both
sizable
estate
consignments
as
well
as
individuals
with
a
single
item
of
personal
or
intrinsic
value.
