2. Consignments
Once you have decided to sell your items by auction, we will prepare a written contract stating the items for sale and the terms and conditions of the auction. We charge what we call an “all-inclusive commission”, which covers all of our services. Having been successful for many years, we are able to offer our customers attractive conditions.
3. Marketing & Auction
A successful sale at auction depends on professional preparation and presentation during the auction. This means that all items are photographed by a professional photographer and presented in our luxurious auction catalogue (both printed and digital) along with a compelling description. Our auction catalogues are distributed across all corners of the world. What’s more, our selection can be viewed via various international auction platforms, reaching thousands of potential buyers. In the run-up to the auction, customers and prospects are sent newsletters and preview brochures, are invited to presentations and informed of the available selection via various social media channels. Our auctions are held from our own auction hall in our prestigious auction house and streamed online over the internet. Prior to an auction, all lots are open for viewing here at Rapp Auctions. The new Rapp Collectors Lounge has been created so that our customers from home and abroad enjoy visiting Rapp Auctions. This tasteful and luxurious environment for our auctions is key to presenting the items in the best possible light.
4. Payment of proceeds
Once your art objects have been sold, the proceeds will be paid out to you. This does not take more than six weeks after the auction. In the rare event that an item is not sold during the auction, it is likely to attract a buyer in the post-auction sale.
