CONSIGNMENT AGENT
Optimising Market Conditions
As your exclusive agent we work tirelessly on your behalf to ensure that your valuable art is consigned to the optimum sale with the optimum auction house at the optimum price.
​
To achieve this we analyse sales records of over 850,000 artists from over 7000 global auction houses dating over 300 years to determine in which country with which auction house and in which sale you are likely to return the highest price.
​
Having agreed with you which sale to consign your art, we negotiate a low and high estimate with the auction house and their 'Sellers Commission' which on most occasions favours you. above the general market.
​
Once agreed we ensure that your art is promoted to best advantage in the relevant auction house sales catalogue which includes writing a detailed description of your art to coincide with high resolution photographs that showcase your art to the target market.
​
Prior to sale we take care of all the logistics of getting your art 'Sale Ready' including temperature controlled shipping, submitting high resolution photographs of your art in and out of frame (where possible), relative condition reports, provenance and authenticity documents, plus other requisite criteria.
​
Post sale, we work with the auction house to ensure you receive all relative invoices and get paid on time.
​
Additionally should you need funds before the sale proceeds are released we can organise bridging finance secured soley against your invoice to tide you over.
