Why trust Berti Antichità, an experienced professional, instead of an auction house?

At Berti Antichità, we always discourage entrusting your furniture, sculpture, painting, or inheritance of antiques to auction houses for three key reasons:

1. Uncertainty and risk: Selling through auctions is not secure, as there’s a real and significant risk that the item won’t sell. Once unsold, the item is “burnt”—finding a professional willing to buy an item already passed over in an auction becomes difficult. You might be forced to either take it back or re-list it at a reduced price.
2. Long timelines: Auctions involve lengthy waiting periods, often stretching over several months. Conversely, Berti Antichità offers immediate payment and transactions that can be completed in just a few hours, saving you time.
3. Associated costs: Sellers must consider that approximately 35% of the sale price will be lost to commissions and additional costs, such as high transportation fees. Even when auction transporters handle the logistics, these costs are deducted from the sale proceeds. Additionally, retrieving unsold items incurs further costs.

In summary, giving 10 pieces to an auction might result in one or two achieving good prices, two or three selling below their estimated value, and the rest remaining unsold. Between commission fees, transport costs for delivery and collection, you’ll realise that selling directly to a professional is more advantageous.

If you’ve already had your estate or antique item valued by an auction house, we invite you to contact us at +39 335 281 522. We are ready to evaluate and purchase everything directly at competitive prices without delays, eliminating the risk of unsold items and expenses while guaranteeing you the full profit.
