Informations for consignors

Personal consultation and estimation

We will be happy to welcome you at our premises in the Munich Museum area. at Theresienstrasse 60. Opening hours are Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. and from 3 p.m to 6 p.m. Our experts, Ellen Piper, Pierre Brossard, Arthur Floss, Askan Quittenbaum and Faridah Younès willingly view and estimate your items for free. If you prefer to contact us by fax or E-mail, photographs will help us to make a first evaluation.
Several times a year, our experts travel through Germany and the neighbouring countries. During consultation hours in quite a few cities, works of art can be presented for estimation. This service is free of charge. You can also leave your items with them for the upcoming auction. Location and time of these consultation hours will be published ca. three weeks earlier on the internet under ‚Expert journeys’. You don’t need to make an appointment to take part in those consultations. If you are considering to offer a larger collection, a meeting at your home or office can certainly be arranged.

If you are not able to deliver the objects personally, they can be sent by post after notice has been given to one of our experts. For larger consignments we can organize a professional, inexpensive and secure transport for you.
