Selling at our Auctions

Deutscher~Menzies and Lawson~Menzies are always accepting entries of high quality artworks for our Auctions. If you are considering selling your property, Deutscher~Menzies and Lawson~Menzies will provide a free initial estimate of its auction value. See our Appraisals and Evaluations page for more information about how you can have your property valued.

Consigning your Property

Menzies Art Brands' art specialists will be pleased to advise you on the appropriate estimates and reserve for your property and costs including vendor commission, illustration and copyright fees if applicable. If you decide to proceed, you will be provided with a Consignment Agreement form to sign.

Auction Estimates

If you are considering selling your property, Menzies Art Brands' will provide a free initial estimate of its auction value.

Every Wednesday (2 – 5pm) our specialists are available and we offer the opportunity for sellers to bring their paintings to our Melbourne and Sydney offices for obligation–free appraisals. Alternatively send a clear photograph of each item ensuring you include the dimensions, artist’s signature, medium, physical condition and any other relevant information. Visits can also be made by our specialists. These are usually at no cost but a fee may be charged which is based on the scope and diversity of the collection. These fees will be rebated if you consign your property for sale at Menzies Art Brands.

Withdrawal of Property

Without any prior notice to the Vendor, Menzies Art Brands reserves the right to withdraw from sale the property or to have the property listed at any auction.

After Sale Notification

Within a few days after the sale, you will receive an after-sale advice listing the final bid price, or, in the event that the property failed to sell, notification that it was bought-in to be returned to you.
You will be sent payment for your sold property approximately 35 (thirty five) days after the sale, provided payment has been received by us.
