Photos & Art for Auction & Consignment
Online Auctions for Photography & Artwork
We are passionate about connecting remarkable photography and artwork with collectors who truly appreciate them. Our focus is on creating an online auction experience that is both professional and accessible, offering consignors a trusted platform to sell and bidders a reliable place to discover unique pieces. From antique photographs and rare prints to contemporary fine art, every auction we hold is designed to highlight the beauty and significance of each item.
The Types of Photography & Artwork We Sell
One of our specialties is vintage and hard-to-find photographs. These include 19th- and early 20th-century prints, cabinet cards, silver gelatin prints, and other historic images that capture moments of everyday life, culture, and history. We also handle antique tintypes, daguerreotypes, and other early photographic processes that remain highly sought after for their rarity and craftsmanship. Collectors value these images not only for their artistic beauty but also for their role in documenting the human experience.
In addition, we also auction photojournalism, modern fine art photography, and vintage prints.
