On-Site inspection

Independent eyes at the auction

Buying at auction can be risky when you cannot attend in person. Catalog descriptions are often brief and photographs limited, leaving important details unseen. Our on-site inspection service provides you with the confidence and transparency you need to bid wisely.

What we do

• We visit the auction house in person.

• Every lot you select is carefully checked for authenticity, condition and hidden flaws.

• We use a magnifying glass, gloves and professional tools to spot cracks, restorations, wear and damage that are not always visible in catalogue images.

• You receive a neutral, unbiased report — our only focus is your interest as a buyer.

Why it matters

• Prevents costly surprises (hidden defects, missing parts, damage).

• Gives you a fair understanding of the real value of a lot.

• Allows you to bid with confidence even from thousands of kilometers away.

• Saves time and travel expenses while still having “your own eyes” in the room.

Turnkey advantage

Unlike auction houses — whose catalogues are written to sell — we represent only you. Our inspections are part of a complete service package, seamlessly connected with photography, pickup and worldwide shipping.
