For buyers and sellers of art, antiques and any other category of personal property, we regularly act as agent as apart of consulting.
There are many methods of sale, so we analyze the pros and cons of each and help you make an informed decision as to the best option. If auction is the preferred route, we compare and contrast the terms and conditions and negotiate the best contract we can on your behalf, including reserves and ancillary fees. Our longstanding relationships with all the major auction houses enable us to secure the most favorable outcome. If consignment to galleries is appropriate, we make sure your property will be properly exposed to the marketplace and marketed to the right clientele. Follow us on Facebook to keep up with us and learn more about our art consultancy work.
