Leonce Antiques and Consignment has been in business for over 17 years. Located in Westport, CT, and housing over 10,000 square feet of showroom space, Leonce Antiques has become known for its extensive collection of sterling silverware, flatware, hollowware, and complete sets. Along with our sterling silver collection, we also carry unique European and American furniture from the 18th century through 20th century.

Other antique items that cover our collection includes chandeliers, lamps, sconces, mirrors, bronze, iron, fireplace items, crystal, porcelain, artwork, rugs, architectural and garden accessories, and many other items. We offer special discounts for decorators, antique dealers, and others involved in the antique business.

We will be working on posting all the silver patterns we have in stock into this blog. It is our hopes that this blog will become a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in sterling silver, and is looking to learn more about the various manufacturers and patterns.

We have also recently also started our online store, which now lists most of our sterling silver, and some of our other items. As you can imagine, photographing and listing 10,000 square feet of inventory is no easy task. But we are steadily working on making our entire store available online to those who are not located in Fairfield County. So please visit our new website and let us know what you think. All questions and comments are welcome. www.leonceantiques.com
