How to submit a work for sale

All property presented for auctioning undergoes a thorough examination by one of our Hermitage Fine Art specialists. To request the complimentary auction examination, you can contact us by email or telephone.

For initial evaluation, you can send photographs of the lots, specifying the dimensions and artist's name, to the email of the auction house. Please note that, before you can sell your lot at an auction any preliminary assessment must be confirmed by one of our experts in person.

We systematically refuse to receive parcels for Hermitage Fine Art, mentioning presents, gifts, documents, and donations. It will be under the responsibility and costs of the sender. We accept only the exact content of parcels with proper documentation according to Monegasque law.

All terms of sale are discussed with an agent and remain confidential. After the examination, valuation approval and signing of the seller's agreement, all lots must be officially handed over to Hermitage Fine Art and will remain under its liability until the sale and payment of lots by the buyer.

If the sale is successful, Hermitage Fine Art sends payment to the seller approximately one month after the auction. If the lot remains unsold, the auction house will discuss the option of either collecting or re-offering the lot with the seller.

Hermitage Fine Art would be glad to answer any of your questions regarding the selling of your lots by telephone or email.

Every work offered at Hermitage Fine Art auctions undergoes a thorough examination by the house's own specialists.

All terms of sale are agreed with the seller and remain confidential. Once the examination is complete, the estimate approved and the sale agreement signed, all lots must be formally handed over to Hermitage Fine Art for safekeeping and remain the responsibility of the auction house until the sale and payment by the buyer.

The auction house does not accept postal shipments addressed to Hermitage Fine Art that are marked as gifts, documents or donations of any kind. Responsibility and any financial costs arising from such shipments rest entirely with the sender. We accept parcels only with an accurate description of their contents. Any parcel addressed to the auction house must be accompanied by official documents in accordance with the law of the Principality of Monaco.

If the lot sells, its price is paid to the seller one month after the sale. If the lot remains unsold, the auction house agrees the further fate of the work with the seller individually (return to the seller, or re-offering at auction).
