Strauss & Co Services Sales by private treaty In addition to Strauss & Co’s core auction business, at our total discretion Strauss & Co can also arrange the swift and discreet sale of select pieces privately. Our specialists will coordinate the private sale or purchase at the best possible price. Valuations We specialise in appraisals of collections, private, public, corporate and institutional and can provide you with a detailed description of each item. This service is available if you are considering a sale or if you require the information for family division, insurance, probate or estate management. House sales and collections We manage all aspects of selling the contents of important homes and large private collections. Auction estimates If you are considering selling artworks or antiques, we are happy to provide you with our opinion of the likely sale value if offered in a Strauss & Co auction. In most instances there is no charge for this service. Client advisory We offer advice to private buyers and corporations considering starting a collection or augmenting their current collection. We also offer advice on restoration, conservation and storage. Catalogue subscriptions Our beautifully illustrated catalogues containing valuable sources of information may be purchased for individual sales or in subscription packages. Each catalogue is mailed out in advance of the sale providing clients with the time to consider any items in which they may be interested.
