Each and every lot we accept for our auctions is featured in full color, in a professionally produced, fully illustrated catalog. Each of these featured lots includes a high quality color photograph and a detailed, accurate and well researched catalog description. Our catalogs are printed on state of the art equipment by an award winning printer and are sold below our production cost to encourage maximum circulation. Our client base of advanced collectors numbers in the thousands and includes not only the heavy hitters of the antique collecting world, but also includes well known names in the entertainment and business world as well as major corporations and museums. Our sales are very heavily advertised and promoted, including the aggressive use of targeted direct mailings, through feature articles and press releases, with well placed display advertising in major antique publications, over the Internet, and at major antique fairs and events throughout the country.

Although we are very aggressive when it comes to the promotion and advertising of our auctions, you will find we are completely low key and no pressure when it comes to discussing your potential consignments. You can count on us to give you a straight answer and an honest opinion regarding your potential consignments. Past consignors have learned they can rely on us to under promise and over deliver. We don’t make exaggerated estimates or blue sky promises to lure you. We let our reputation for fair dealing, our history of delivering record setting prices, and the regular steady repeat business of our satisfied past consignors and their constant referrals do this job for us.

Consignment Terms:
Our per lot commissions are as follows (based on hammer price):

In addition, there is a $5 per lot color photography fee. On lots that buyers pay for by credit card, we split these fees with our consignor, with the consignor paying the 1st 3% of these charges. On lower priced lots realizing less than $300 our commission rate is 25%. Your items are fully insured from the time we receive them until settlement is made after the sale.

We would welcome the opportunity to work with you on the marketing of your items and to add you to our large and ever growing list of satisfied repeat sellers. All inquiries and dealings are held in the strictest of confidence. Please call or write before sending any items!
