We will sell out! Dealers, resellers, pickers, private collectors, brides, everyone is welcome! In many cases we have multiples of the same item.

We will also have other items for sale including a few furniture pieces, toys, puzzles, books, and clothing. There are two families who will be sharing the space for the sale. Everything is priced to sell.


A little about the crystal and giftware: Mr. Petrov is one of "Chicago's Very Own". For over 30 years, Mr. Petrov was a major importer of high quality crystal and giftware, to the United States. There were two locations, a retail store on Michigan Avenue, by the name of "Royal Crystal by Petrov" and a wholesale store on the Northwest side of Chicago, by the name of "Petrov Enterprises, Ltd.".

Out of these two locations, for many years, Mr. Petrov sold more glassware than any other importer in the country. His crystal and patterns continue to be enjoyed by millions all over the world as they were also carried by many other retail stores worldwide under different labels. He designed many new patterns but also continued many of the traditional patterns of the past. However, what Mr. Petrov was most known for were his "Unikat" or "Originals". These are one of a kind art pieces he designed, that are unlike anything else you will ever see, anywhere. Some of the pieces were traditional shapes, (vases, bowls, etc...) some were free-form, each of unmatched quality, and originality, even to this day.

Mr. Petrov's list of important clients included many celebrities, government officials and important executives, local and national. He also supplied many tournaments with trophies, both local and national, he supplied many awards for award ceremonies, and even worked with several different faiths for custom items used in religious ceremonies and celebrations. Mr. Petrov worked with many Chicago brides to create custom toasting glasses, cake servers, and wedding favors. Countless brides had registered at Mr. Petrov's stores for their crystal and dinnerware sets which families continue to enjoy today.

When Mr. Petrov decided to retire, the store was sold out, but inventory was found in the back of the warehouse, and then it found its way to our house. Much of this merchandise hasn’t seen the light of day for over 25 years because it was tucked away, in the back of the warehouse, and forgotten. There are a few prototypes and samples. Some of the patterns are traditional, some more contemporary, and we even have a few Unikat or Originals! This is high quality crystal, mouth blown, and hand cut by European artists, many of which are no longer doing this type of work due to political and economic problems in their countries. Mouth blown, hand cut crystal of this type is becoming a lost art. This is your last opportunity to buy one of these pieces, unless you find them at a local estate sale. If you do, you will surely pay much more, even on the last day!
