Why request a second antique appraisal before consigning items to an auction house
Many owners initially choose to sell through auctions without knowing all the aspects involved in this method of sale.
Requesting a professional appraisal from Berti Antichità also allows you to compare different options and make a more informed decision.
Buying antiques directly eliminates the risk of unsold items, avoids high commissions and means you receive immediate payment much faster than through traditional auction channels.
