Consignments
"Consignment is the best way to preserve the value of your piece and achieve a successful sale."
The decorative arts community is esoteric and highly selective. They only buy from a small group of sources they trust. HL CHALFANT has been in business for over 30 years and has developed a significant clientele of discerning collectors who rely on us to present them with new and fresh objects. Your piece may be just what they are looking for. We collect a 20% commission to account for the marketing, gallery and booth space and focused sales attention we give to each object in our gallery.
If you offer an object that we can represent, the first thing we do is determine its market value. Once we have done that, we offer to either take it on consignment that nets you 80% of the final agreed upon sale. To buy an object, we typically pay less than 80% of the market value depending on whether we have an existing customer for a specific object.
Email or call us now to determine whether consigning your object is the right option for you.
