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.

Understanding the Consignment Process

Initial Contact

Reach out to us with a brief description or photos of your items. You don’t need to be an expert—we’ll guide you through what details are most helpful. We review your submission, answer questions, and let you know whether your items are a good fit for our auctions.

Evaluation & Agreement

We provide an honest evaluation, including estimated auction value and recommended placement. If you decide to move forward, we’ll agree on terms and commission upfront so there are no surprises.

Preparing Your Items

Send us your items safely packaged, or arrange for drop-off/pick-up if available. Our team takes care of professional photography, detailed catalog descriptions, and organizing your items into the most effective lots for auction. Every item is handled with care to showcase it in the best possible light.

Cataloging & Marketing

Relax! We do the heavy lifting. Your items are added to our online auction catalog and promoted to our network of collectors and buyers across the country and internationally. Our marketing ensures your items get the visibility they deserve.

Auction Day

Watch the excitement unfold if you’d like, or simply wait for results. Through our auctions on Live Auctioneers, we manage bidding, and ensure everything is handled smoothly and securely. Competitive bidding often helps push prices higher, giving your items the best chance for strong results.

Post-Auction Settlement

Once the auction concludes, we finalize sales, handle buyer payments, and issue your proceeds promptly (minus the pre-agreed commission). You’ll also receive a settlement statement so you know exactly what sold and for how much.
