| How to submit your item(s) |
|
Please provide clear and good quality images, displaying all sides of the item (such as the
underside of a figure, vase, or plate (even if there are no marks); or the back of a painting etc);
and please detail clearly any makers marks, stamps, signatures, or condition issues.
|
|
NB: To capture clear images of detail, hold the camera approx 10-12" inches away from the subject
and use a medium-high quality setting (2000-3000+ pixels) or macro-setting and test until clear. Try to
avoid any 'camera shake' when you take a photo, as this will blur the image.
|
|
Please include accurate dimensions and all information you know about the item(s), such as any
provenance, sale history, or other background information which might be helpful to the appraiser...

FREE Art, Antique & Collectors' Selling Advice |
|
TIMING, PLACEMENT and PROMOTION are all paramount in achieving the full potential value for your item(s), and to decide the best way to proceed with a sale we must also consider time scales... For instance, would you prefer a quicker sale to the trade (at a trade price)? Or do you have time to promote through a saleroom (to create bidding interest)? Or time (if required) to try and realise a higher-set retail value?
|
|
TIP: Condition, Rarity, Quality of Workmanship & Design, Quality of the Sales Environment (Gallery, Retail Shop / Centre, Auction, Fair, etc), Collecting Trends, Supply & Demand, the Economy, and many other factors can influence the value of an item.
