Desinger and vintage textiles can be a fascinating and lucrative department at auctions, attracting collectors and enthusiasts from around the world. This department covers a wide range of items, including clothing, accessories, linens, tapestries, rugs, and quilts, among others.
One of the most important factors to consider when selling vintage and antique textiles at auction is the condition of the item. Collectors and buyers are often willing to pay a premium for pieces that are in good condition and have been well-preserved over time. Therefore, it is important to properly assess and document any damage, wear, or repairs to the item before offering it for sale.
Another key consideration when selling vintage and antique textiles at auction is provenance. Pieces with a clear and well-documented history, such as those from notable collections or with a connection to a famous designer or artist, can fetch significantly higher prices than similar items without a clear provenance. It is important to thoroughly research the history of the item and include any relevant information in the auction catalog and marketing materials.
Our auctions appeal to a wide range of potential buyers. This can include collectors, designers, historians, and enthusiasts who are interested in different styles, periods, and regions of textile production. It is also important to highlight the uniqueness and rarity of the items being offered, as well as any notable features or techniques used in their production.
