Sotheby's C. Hugh Hildesley explains how to pick an auction house, how a sale is created, estimates and reserves, the procedures for buying, methods of payment, and more. Whether you want to buy a chateau in France, a Winslow Homer in New York, or an antique apple peeler in Vermont, here is all you need to know to particpate in the world's increasingly popular auctions. 55 photos.
From just the start of the book and a small portion, the book seems to be full of great and knowledgable information regarding auctions and how they work and how they are run. I would have never known all the legistics and behind the scenes that went on with an auction house. Now I do. This book is very informative about auctions and what you need to know if you want to BUY or SELL.
