As both auction house and dealer, we select the most appropriate avenue for each element of your collection — whether through auction, private treaty sales, or retail opportunities.

When auction isn’t the answer
If any items don’t sell at auction (it happens occasionally), we’ll discuss the options with you, including private treaty sales, revised estimates for future auctions, or connections with specialist collectors. Sometimes we also receive post-sale offers that might interest you.
Our commission rates are negotiated based on your collection’s scope and value, ensuring our interests align with yours.
