Consignor Guarantees

Consignor guarantees provide capital support in advance of sale, establishing a minimum outcome for a consigned work of art irrespective of the result achieved in the auction room.

 

Guaranteed Sale

This structure introduces certainty at the point of consignment, allowing the art owner to proceed with clarity regarding the minimum level of proceeds.

 

Structure

Each guarantee is considered in the context of the artworks’s attribution, provenance, condition, and market position, together with the selected sale environment and prevailing demand. The structure is aligned to both the art and the anticipated dynamics of the sale, ensuring that the guarantee is appropriately positioned.

 

Oversight

Oversight is maintained through to the point of auction, with attention given to catalogue placement, estimate strategy, and market reception. This approach allows participation in the auction process while managing exposure to variability in outcome.
