The Difference

One dealer gives you one number.

A dealer's offer is a single buyer's price, and that buyer is paid to give you the least the market will forgive. An auction places a collection in front of the collectors who have waited years for it, and lets them compete.

Our office exists for families and estates holding significant collections: to document what is actually there, establish what it is actually worth in writing, and, when the family chooses, place it at auction with every detail handled.

Our Standing Commitment

The Higher Hammer Guarantee

Your best offer becomes the floor.

Bring any written offer you already hold. We set it as the auction reserve, so you are guaranteed at least that figure, and the bidding can only take it higher.

Your collection cannot sell for less than your best written offer.

Common Questions

Asked in nearly every consultation.

I already have an offer from a dealer. Why would auction do better?
A dealer's number is one buyer's price, set by someone paid to acquire for the least the market will forgive. At auction, the collectors who have waited years for specific pieces bid against each other. And with the Higher Hammer Guarantee, your written offer becomes the reserve, so the collection cannot sell for less than the number you already hold.
What does this cost the estate?
The consignment fee is 10 percent, and it is waived entirely on collections above $100,000. Transport, grading, photography, cataloging, and the written valuation are included. The complimentary walkthrough carries no cost and no obligation.
What happens if a piece does not sell?
A lot reserved at your best written offer clears that reserve or returns to you. Unsold pieces can be placed in a later catalog, adjusted, or retrieved. Nothing is ever sold below the reserve you agreed to in writing.
Is the collection insured while you have it?
Yes. Coverage runs from insured pickup, through custody at our office, to the auction floor, with a documented chain-of-custody record for every item at every step.
How quickly does the estate receive funds?
Settlement is a single wire with a full lot-level accounting, 30 to 45 days after the buyer's payment is received. A cash advance against qualifying lots is available when timing matters.
Do we have to consign after the valuation?
No. The valuation is yours for the estate file regardless of what you decide. Many families use it simply to make an informed decision. There is no obligation at any step.
