If you have something you think we may be interested in, please give us a call at our office for a free and confidential consultation.How to get an Estimate
Curious on what your artwork may be worth at auction?
Contact us for complimentary and confidential on any artwork you are thinking of selling.
Give us a call at 403-541-9099 or email us at mail@levisauctions.com with the following information:
- Artist name
- Title (if there is one)
- Medium
- Dimensions (of the artwork not the frame if there is one)
- Image
- Any additional information you have (where did you get it, labels on the frame, etc.)
We will do our best to get back to you as soon as we can with our estimates and/or suggestions.
Standard Commission Rates
- 10% for lots selling for $2,500 or more
- 20% for lots selling between $500 and $2,499
- 30% for lots selling for under $500
In our standard consignment contract there is a reserve bid fee of 5% of the reserve price (minimum charge of $150).
If you give us a reserve that we feel is reasonable, we can waive the reserve bid fee and you would not be charged anything if you consigned a piece and it did not sell.
This choice is made by us on a case by case basis.
As a consignor you are responsible for the reserve fee and shipping to/from our office.
LEVIS includes in our service, at no additional expense, the following services:
