After the Auction

A Consignor’s Guide

At Thomaston Place Auction Galleries, the work isn't finished once the hammer comes down. On this edition of Auction Waves, Elizabeth McLeod continues her conversation with founder and auctioneer Kaja Veilleux, as they review the important services the house provides after the auction is finished. It's a thorough and engaging discussion of a process that is vital to the satisfaction of both the seller and the buyer, a level of satisfaction for which Thomaston Place Auction Galleries is justly renowned. 

The conversation is particularly timely as the April 17th deadline for the acceptance of consignments for the important Summer Splendor Auction draws closer. Potential consigners of antique and contemporary furniture, fine art, marine items, Americana, jewelry, firearms, vehicles, and other collectible objects may bring them to our regular Free Appraisal Day on Tuesdays from 10 AM to 12 PM and 1:30 PM to 4 PM for an in-person, on-the-spot examination by Kaja Veilleux, or may submit inquiries via our website.
