APPRAISAL AFTERNOONS

Menzies also offers appraisals of significant fine art in person at our gallery on Wednesday afternoons, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Clients are welcome to bring along their works of art at this time; there is no need to make an appointment. Please note that we will be closed for appraisals on auction days, so please be sure to check our auction calendar in advance.

WE CAN VISIT YOU

In some circumstances, Menzies' specialists may be able to appraise works of art in situ at your property. This is at the discretion of the specialists in your region and pending an initial discussion of your collection. On-site appraisals are generally free of charge, but a fee may be applicable depending on the scope, diversity of the collection and travel time required. This appraisal fee would be fully refundable in the event that these artworks are consigned to auction with Menzies.

Please note the following:

• All estimates provided are provisional and may be revised after our specialists have examined your property.
• Allow approximately a week for a response.
• While we offer appraisals at our galleries, please do not physically send your property to us unless you are in attendance.
• We regret that we cannot offer auction estimates or sale information for items that are typically not sold at Menzies' auctions in terms of type or value.
• Once we have determined that your property is suitable for auction, our specialists will engage in a discussion with you regarding the location and sale date to ensure the most favourable bidding experience.
• Alternatively, Menzies can assist in brokering a private sale at certain value levels. This possibility allows you to bypass the constraints of the auction calendar. Our specialists will provide personalised guidance on private sale strategies and help you curate your collection.
