About
Atlantis Antiques and Guy Ferraro
Guy
Ferraro is the owner of Atlantis Antiques. He was born
in Italy on his grandfather's farm which sits on the
well known Roman road, the Appian Way. As a child he was
surrounded by nature's beauty, with beautiful palatial
mountains in his yard and Roman ruins within walking
distance of his home.
He
has been in the business of antiques and collectibles
since he was a young adult, traveling to many parts of
the world and making his custom designs in home
furnishing and accessories. In the 1970s he opened his
first retail outlet in New Haven's Westville antique
district, called Ferraro International. There he sold
custom imported items, and American and European
antiques and accessories. He also handled gold and
silver items including jewelry, both old and new. Later,
Guy expanded his business to handle coins and paper
money, too.
In
1986, Guy moved his business to its present location on
the Boston Post Road in West Haven, CT and renamed it
Atlantis Antiques International. Equipped with a full
workshop, here he could expand his design business. He
now carries a complete line of English and American
antiques and replicas where he personally oversees the
manufacturing, and instructs workers in various
factories around the world in the construction and
design of each piece. Guy's inventory also includes his
custom cast iron and teak garden furniture and
accessories.
Guy
is a longtime collector and buyer of American and
European coins and paper money. As a registered precious
metals dealer, Guy also buys gold and silver jewelry,
flatware, and any other items made of these precious
metals, paying competitive prices.
His
appraisal work has taken him all over the world and into
many estates in the United States. He has also done
appraisal work for insurance companies, private
adjusters, and the Federal government. Even United
States Customs has enlisted his help in the appraisal of
items and to lead training classes in establishing
authenticity.
Being
Italian born, Guy has a special interest in the
appraisal, purchasing, and selling of Italian
antiquities. He is available to discuss the value of any
item, whether you intend to sell or not. Guy is also
available to discuss any item you would like to have
custom made in wood, cast iron, teak, gold, silver or
bronze.
