Auction Procedure
Calling for bids: Lots normally called in catalogue order; the auctioneer may combine, split, or withdraw lots.
Bidding increments: Usually ~10% over the prior bid, but may vary.
Knock-down: The highest valid bid wins. If reserve (minimum price) isn't met, lots may be knocked down under reserve after consultation.
Post-Auction Sale: Unsold lots are offered on our website in the post-auction sale for up to four weeks. If your bid is under reserve, buyer’s commission is 35% in such cases.
