Better information leads to better advice.
Useful details
Dimensions, materials, known age, how it was acquired and any receipts, labels or previous valuations.
Our assessment
We consider authenticity, condition, demand, likely value and the most suitable auction format.
1. Appraisal
We review the information provided and advise whether the item is suitable for auction. An estimate is a market opinion, not a guaranteed selling price.
2. Consignment
If you decide to proceed, the written consignment agreement records the agreed reserve where applicable, seller’s commission, other charges, insurance arrangements and the proposed sale.
3. Cataloguing and marketing
Accepted objects are photographed, catalogued and presented to relevant buyers through the auction catalogue and selected marketing channels.
4. Sale and settlement
After the auction, sellers receive a statement showing the result and agreed deductions. Payment timing is governed by the consignment agreement and cleared buyer funds.
