Selling

Martini’s Art Studio offers its clients a personalized service during the whole sales process, whether the sale is by auction or by private transaction. Together with the owner of the works we try to find the best solution, guaranteeing the best result.
Our experts take great care of every single detail, from accurate estimates to taking photograhs and the cataloguing of the works in order to publish them in our cataglogues and present them to prospective buyers throughout the world.

Why choose Martini?

Martini’s Auction House has always specialized in the market of modern and contemporary art; the works which we present in our auctions are exclusively paintings, sculptures and works that belong to this market specifically. This specialization has now made us a point of reference in the current market. Martini’s Art Studio advertises its auctions using the main means of communication: newspapers, national and satellite televison, they are web-streamed and presented on the main platforms dedicated to the market of art and advertised on the main social networks.
This means that the Auction House can reach a larger public, guaranteeing a greater visibility to the works and better results.

You can contact us free of charge and under no obligation, by sending us photographs via e-mail, What’s App, fax, or completing the following, giving us a brief description of the work in your possession. We will reply with an indicative estimate of the price.
In some cases we may ask to arrange a meeting in order to make a more accurate evaluation.

What if I accept your evaluation?

In the case of a sale we will keep a commission of 10% of the price and any costs incurred (frames, authentications, restoration etc.) previously agreed.
Furthermore, according to current law, we will withold the "droit de suite", in order to pay it to the S.I.A.E. on your behalf.

When will I receive payment?

Within 45 days of the day of the sale, on condition that we have received the payment from the buyer.

How does sale by private transaction work?

Martini’s Art Studio also offers the services of sale by private transaction. These particular clients are particularly demanding and are always searching for prestigious and high-quality works; they often commission us to retrieve certain works not included in auctions. In this case we agree the terms of our contract directly with the client.

When and how will I receive the works?

The works are delivered or sent only and exclusively when the auction house has received the payment. In the case of deferment of payment, the works will be delivered once the total has been paid. We offer a reliable and reasonably-priced delivery and consignment service with personalized service at competitive rates for all our works of art.
