Consignment Information
If you are interested in consigning items to one of our auctions,
you may bring them to the gallery or we can provide a pickup service
within the Twin City metro area. Consignments are accepted Thursdays,
Fridays, and Saturdays. There is a
charge for pick up of consigned property, depending on volume and
distance, but there is no charge on goods purchased outright.
Property can often be sold within a few weeks, unless it could be
more profitable to wait until a more suitable auction. Our general
antique and estate auctions are held one Saturday each month, featuring items
such as furniture, fine and collectable bronzes, clocks, watches,
jewelry, dolls, weapons, oriental items, books, stamps, coins, music
boxes, oriental rugs, sterling, stained glass, pottery, lamps, Art
Deco, Art Nouveau, brass, copper, pewter, buttons and other
collectable items. Fine jewelry auctions are held the one Monday each month, except in December. Our monthly jewelry auctions are
presented on color television monitors. Other specialty auctions are
occasionally held on Saturdays and focus on fine and extensive
collections of just one of the above listed categories.

No consignments will be
accepted during any inspection or auction hours. Most consignments will be sold
on the first available auction. Some items may be held for future
specialty auctions. Jewelry consignments must be in at least two weeks
prior to the auction and are by appointment only with Amy.
If you would like an auction
estimate, please call ahead for an appointment.
Commission Rates
The commission is 15% and $10 for the first $5,000 and 10% on the
amount exceeding $5,000 for each lot. $5 per lot additional charge
for items posted on internet live auctions.
Consignors are paid 30 days following the sale date, with a
printout of all items sold.
