Two Solutions for Your Art and Antiques
At ANTIKARTS, a dealer registered with SNCAO-GA since 2012, we offer two transparent and secure methods to help you sell your valuables:
- Direct Purchase: we buy your items outright if they meet our selection criteria and expertise.
- Consignment Sale: we take your items on consignment and offer them to our clients. You receive the net amount after deduction of our commission.
The Consignment Sale: A Clear and Secure Partnership
Procedure:
- Item Evaluation: we review your pieces (photos, dimensions, provenance, condition). An indicative estimate is provided to you.
- Consignment Contract: signed between you and ANTIKARTS, specifying the agreed sale price, consignment duration, and commission applied.
- Sale Listing: the item is presented on our sales channels (ANTIKARTS website, specialized platforms, private collectors, partner auctions).
- Sale and Payment: once the item is sold, you receive the net price after deduction of our commission.
Our Commission
Standard Commission: 25% VAT included of the final sale price.
👉 This commission covers:
