What types of items do you take on consignment?
We try to provide our buying clientele with unique, valuable, rare, and beautiful works or art, design, décor, jewelry, and accoutrements. We seek to limit our consignment offerings to quality merchandise of this caliber. We do however, handle more general merchandise through our estate channels.
What are the fees?
We have a sliding commission schedule for sales of property. The higher the value the lower the commission. Million dollar items can be consigned commission free.
