Ryan C. Brechlin is an antiques and art appraiser working in Connecticut. For nearly a decade, Ryan held weekly “open appraisal” days at the Nest Egg Auctions gallery. Clients were able to bring items in for a free verbal and informal appraisal. Ryan’s quick research skills and auction knowledge allowed him to offer the appraisal service as an “Antiques Roadshow” style live event. He enjoys the thrill of discovering a new item and helping clients learn more about the value and history of their antiques.

Ryan has been an antiques dealer since his teenage years. He started his career as a picker and estate treasure hunter in Connecticut. He developed a weekly schedule of buying and selling to generate his income. Each time he bought and sold an object he was building and learning new categories. The experience of picking and trading every week taught him that success was a combination of preparation and opportunity. Ryan counts buying as one of his favorite activities in the business and still loves to search for Estate Jewelry, Guitars, and Vintage Watches when he goes to estate sales, flea markets and garage sales in Connecticut.
Ryan C. Brechlin lives in Berlin Connecticut and loves to spend time with his family and in the outdoors.
