Art & Luxury Auction House

Valuation

An Alex Cooper representative will provide you with an idea of your items market value and salability at auction. Our knowledgeable appraisers have both the experience and tools at their disposal to properly evaluate your valuables.

There are several ways in which to obtain a pre-sale evaluation: Before an item can be submitted for auction, please complete and submit the presale evaluation request form. Following the submission, an Alex Cooper specialist will contact and guide you through the evaluation and auction process. Or feel free to make an appointment with a specialist and bring your item into the gallery, located at 908 York Road., Towson, MD 21204.

Consignment

Before consigning at Alex Cooper, our representative will provide you with detailed consignment terms along with a formal consignment contract for your review so you fully understand and feel comfortable with the auction process.

When you are ready to sell, we are ready to make sure your property is a sought after item on auction day. Prior to the day of the auction, a multi-day exhibition is open to the public, allowing maximum exposure of your property. We also provide professional cataloguing and extensive marketing to expose your items to the largest possible venue. Alex Cooper’s advertising campaign includes local and national publications, direct mail, and extensive internet exposure.

Payment

After the auction, you will be paid by check, along with a full detailed accounting of each lot’s sale price and itemized charges approximately three weeks after the auction. If applicable, an accounting of unsold items will be sent approximately one week post-auction. You, the consignor, are responsible for arranging removal of unsold property or contacting our gallery to discuss other means of handling your property.
