ITEMS TO SELL OR CONSIGN?
Would Solvang Antiques be interested in buying or consigning an antique or artwork from me?
Solvang Antiques is not currently accepting consignments, nor purchasing at this time.
What is the difference between selling and consigning?
Some dealers may choose to purchase items outright from you for a lesser amount. Consignment takes longer, as the vendor will list your item for sale, but you will not be paid until after the item sells, which can take months or even years in some cases. Please note, Solvang Antiques is not currently purchasing or consigning items at this time.
What types of items does Solvang Antiques normally purchase or consign?
When we are consigning, we look for items of exceptional quality and condition, especially those that have a noted maker or possess an important provenance. Currently, however, we are not purchasing or consigning items.
Items we would not be interested in:
- Reproductions of any kind
- Late 19th or 20th century silverplate unless accompanied by a significant provenance or noted maker
- Single pieces of flatware, dinnerware or stemware (unless they have an important provenance or maker such as Hester Bateman or Galle)
- Prints (unless signed by an important artist)
- Mechanical objects (music boxes, clocks, automatons) that are not in working order, unless the repair is minor
- Large furniture items
Does Solvang Antiques Offer Appraisal Services?
Solvang Antiques does not offer written appraisal services. If you are seeking an appraisal, please refer to our links page.
What if I just need additional information about an item that I own?
Due to the number of inquiries that we receive on a regular basis, it is not possible for us to provide detailed information on every item that you may own, but we may be able to refer you to some resources that can help you. Please refer to our links page to find those resources.
