Our specialists will carefully examine your items, assessing their authenticity, condition, provenance, and market desirability. We will provide you with a comprehensive evaluation and appraisal, detailing the estimated value range and our suggested auction estimate.

Based on the evaluation, we will work with you to develop a tailored selling strategy that aligns with your goals. This may include selecting the most suitable auction category, determining appropriate estimates and reserves, and exploring potential marketing and promotional opportunities.

Once you are satisfied with the selling strategy, we will prepare a consignment agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the sale. This agreement will cover aspects such as commission rates, insurance, transport, and any other relevant details.

Prior to the auction, your items will be showcased in a pre-sale exhibition at our office or a gallery. This allows prospective buyers to view and appreciate the pieces in person, fostering interest and generating excitement leading up to the auction. Our team will handle all logistics and ensure the safety and security of your items during this exhibition.

On the day of the auction, our experienced auctioneers will present your items to a global audience of interested buyers. Bidders can participate in person, through online bidding platforms, or via absentee bids. Our auctioneers will skillfully facilitate the bidding process, striving to achieve the best possible results for your items.

After the auction concludes, we will provide you with a detailed post-sale report, outlining the results of each item sold. If your items are successfully sold, we will assist you with the payment and collection process, ensuring a seamless transition from sale to settlement.

In the event that your items do not sell during the auction, our team will work closely with you to explore alternative options. This may include discussing the possibility of re-offering the items in future auctions, private sales, or providing guidance on other suitable avenues for selling your items.
