David Lackey Antiques & Fine Jewelry is a website-backed, unclaimed FAIR profile listed for Houston with Antiques and Personal Property, Jewelry, and Estate Appraisals specialty signals. The business site presents David Lackey as a Houston antiques and fine-jewelry dealer whose merchandise is sold online, by appointment, and at Round Top shows; its estate-services page offers consultation for estates with antiques, art, or other collectible items and discusses estate-liquidation options. The bio page says Lackey has dealt in antiques for 40 years, graduated from Baylor University and Christie's Fine Arts Course in London, and has been a regular Antiques Roadshow appraiser for more than 25 years. Current category pages show jewelry, sterling silver, silverplate, collectible china and crystal, classic modern furnishings, paintings and sculpture from the 1920s-80s, and Texas modernist artists. The Houston Appraisers Association calendar independently describes Lackey as an antiques and art dealer, cites decades of collecting and dealing experience, lists specialization in 18th- and 19th-century furniture, ceramics, silver, jewelry, decorative arts, and 20th-century regionalist art, and notes Antiques Roadshow pottery and porcelain work since 1996. Treat this as a Houston antiques, jewelry, silver, decorative-arts, estate, and regionalist-art lead while confirming whether the assignment needs a formal appraisal report, estate consultation, purchase, consignment, or liquidation advice.
Public source signals are strongest for antiques, 18th- and 19th-century furniture, ceramics, pottery and porcelain, decorative arts, silver, jewelry, antique, vintage, and pre-owned jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, sterling silver, silverplate, collectible china and crystal, classic modern furnishings, 1920s-80s paintings and sculpture, Texas modernists, 20th-century regionalist art, estate consultation, and estate liquidation. The FAIR profile does not show a public fee statement or claimed profile control.
Before outreach, ask whether the work is a formal appraisal report, estate consultation, consignment, purchase offer, or liquidation planning; confirm which antique, jewelry, silver, ceramics, painting, decorative-arts, china, crystal, or regionalist-art categories are in scope; and ask how inspection, independence, and fees are handled.
