360° HD Photography ARTES' Auction Runs Continuously Throughout the Year Extended Viewing Time for Lots 0 % Premium for Sellers / 8-12 %* Premium for Buyers (*Extra Benefits Included) Price Offer / Buy Now / Seller's Estimate Options Available
F ollowing the newest developments on the string instrument market (each year more and more instruments and bows are sold through the auction channel, for a total amount of about 100 million € in 2014) we want to offer, primarily to Swiss clients, but also to international clients, a premium online auction platform using professional 360 degree HD photography, sound samples, an innovative system of not only buying (price offer and buy now options) but also valuating (the clients have the option to contribute to the valuation) and detailed information about the lots. Our auction runs continuously throughout the year.
Swiss clients have no custom fees or formalities for instruments and bows coming from Switzerland and they can try the lots for an extended period of time as we offer longer lasting viewer opportunities. We offer EU clients to avoid formalities and keep the instruments and bows in the EU until they are sold. We are at this very moment the auction house with lowest charges worldwide (0% for sellers and 8 to 12%* for buyers). We offer very attractive conditions and rewards to collectors and members of the trade (please contact us to learn more about). We strive to offer our clients a professional and friendly service.
