As Cleveland’s oldest auction house we offer a range of services.

Our Gallery offers a selection of paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture and decorations through the modernist area. This is by appointment only.

The auctions are internationally renowned, featuring fine art, works on paper, books and ephermera and decorative arts held in our gallery or on-site. Our auctions feature the best of both worlds being live auctions but with internet, phone and proxy bidding available.

For over two decades our experts have worked with banks, attorneys, trust and estate officers, and family members who have been responsible for the dispersal of estates and collections.

Laster's Fine Art & Antiques specializes in handling estates and collections, particularly estates of a high net worth.

Distinctive character pieces and entire personal collections have been privately sold or auctioned to achieve the best results and the most money for our clients.
