Selling guide

Request an estimate

Getting a complimentary auction estimate from one of our specialists is the first step in the auction process:

Submit clear colour photographs of up to six items through our online request form
Provide additional information such as dimensions, materials and history

Auction estimates are provided in 3–4 weeks for items for which Christie’s has a category of sale and which meet our minimum consignment value. If you have more than six items that you would like valuing, please contact our Estates, Appraisals and Valuation Services.

Once we have determined that your item is appropriate for auction, our specialists will discuss the location and auction date with you to ensure the strongest bidding.
