Live Auctions: Your Guide to Selling
With two live auctions per year and multiple online auctions, we are always looking for good art work to sell. We can assist with consigning estates, dispersals, and personal and corporate art collections. If you have something you think we may be interested in, please give us a call at our office for a free and confidential consultation.
Standard Commission Rates
- 10% for lots selling for $2,500 or more
- 20% for lots selling between $500 and $2,499
- 30% for lots selling for under $500
In our standard consignment contract there is a reserve bid fee of 5% of the reserve price (minimum charge of $125) if the lot does not sell.
If you give us a reserve that we feel is reasonable, we can waive the reserve bid fee and you would not be charged anything if you consigned a piece and it did not sell.
This choice is made by us on a case by case basis.
As a consignor you are responsible for the reserve fee and shipping to/from our office.
