  • How can I take part in an auction?

    You can participate in person, by written bid (also online), by phone or live online. In all cases, please register in advance with us or via the relevant platform. Learn more here.

  • How can I bid online?

    You can bid live via our website or international platforms such as Drouot, Lot-tissimo and Invaluable. Please register at least 24 hours before the auction begins.

  • Can I view the objects before the auction?

    Yes. A ten-day public preview is held before each auction at our premises in Bern. You can inspect all lots and consult our specialists. On request, we provide Condition Reports.

  • What is the buyer’s premium?

    Up to a hammer price of CHF 200,000 the buyer’s premium is 25%; above CHF 200,000 it is 22%. (Additional fees may apply on certain external platforms.)

  • How can I get more information about a lot?

    You can request a Condition Report for any lot. Our experts will provide details on condition, provenance and comparative works. Please write to our expert team.

  • How can I pay?

    Within one week after the auction you will receive an invoice by e-mail or post. Payment is in Swiss francs by bank transfer or card; details are shown on your invoice.

    Collection in Bern is possible from the week after the auction during opening hours. We are happy to arrange insured worldwide shipping. Please contact our shipping team.

    If you are outbid or the lot is not sold, no charges apply. No notification is sent in this case.

  • How do I know if I won a lot?

    Results are published online after the sale. You will receive a postal notification if you were successful — not if you were outbid.
