Getting your submission ready
1. Fill in all the details and write a clear description
When you submit an object, you’ll see fields to guide you in providing the right information, e.g. type of object, condition, etc. These fields ensure your listing is clear, searchable, and easy for bidders to understand.
Please also use the object description field to share:
- Unique features or notable history of the object
- What is included/not included (e.g. packaging, accessories)
- Where the object came from/how it was obtained
Designer, maker, or factory
- Style or production method
- Dimensions and weight
- Country (and region where relevant) of production
- If the object has any flaws or signs of wear (e.g. scratches, fading, marks)
Tip: The more detail you provide, the easier it is for bidders to understand the value of your object – and the more likely it is to sell. Find here more tips on how to write a clear, accurate description.
📌 Examples of a well-written description:
“Art Deco vase by Camille Fauré, ca. 1930. Signed at the base. Iridescent enamel. One small restoration to the rim. Comes from a private collection.”
2. Great photos matter
Photos are the first thing bidders see – so make them count! We recommend including high-quality images that clearly show the condition and details of your object. This helps bidders make informed decisions and increases your chances of a successful sale.
Your photos should include:
For all submissions:
- Front, back, side, top, and bottom views
- Close-ups of markings, signatures or key decorative features
- Any flaws or wear
For grouped submissions:
- Group photos and individual shots
Tip: Use a neutral background (white, black or grey), avoid low-quality or stock images, and aim for natural lighting. The neutral background must be natural, not removed by computer. Find here more tips on how to take professional photos.
📌 Examples of good vs. bad photos:
Photos with clear lighting, focus, and a neutral background highlight the object effectively, while images with distractions, poor lighting, or unclear angles make it difficult to evaluate the object.
3. Additional proof of authenticity
We pay extra attention to ensure authenticity of high-value objects and exclusive to protect bidders and ensure a trustworthy marketplace.
For high-value objects (€1000+):
We may request additional verification before approval:
✔ Proof of provenance (e.g., receipts, certificates, reports)
✔ A catalog reference for objects attributed to a manufacturer or artist, but not signed or marked
✔ Extra high-resolution images showing object details
✔ Verification of ownership if not otherwise clear
✔ Old photographs showing the object in a historical setting
✔ Catalogue entries from museums or previous auctions
For limited editions or signed objects:
✔ Signatures or markings must be verifiable
✔ Limited markings must be authenticated by the maker or a trusted expert
✔ Other proof may be accepted at our discretion (e.g., photos of signing event)
X No unverified signatures or limited markings without authentication
