Market Appraisals

If you are looking to sell by auction or private sale, Menzies can assist in appraising your single work of art or your collection. Our experienced specialists know the art market and will provide confidential complimentary estimates for works of art that meet our minimum consignment value.

Our appraisals consider recent auction results for comparable works of art, the work's significance within an artist’s oeuvre, and its condition. Our appraisals are subject to review based on firsthand inspection.

If the work is suitable for a Menzies auction, our specialists will provide an auction estimate, the recommended reserve, vendor commission rate, and any associated fees that could include copyright, framing, packing and shipping, and resale royalty. We will also include details on how and when the work will be presented to market, as well as information regarding Menzies' past sales performance by artist and/or period.
