Frequently Asked Questions
How can I sell my silver teapot, flatware and plates online?
The first step to sell your silver is determining its value. Sotheby's can assist by providing you with a free auction estimate when you submit photographs and information about your antique silver online. After considering its rarity, condition, provenance and current market demand, our specialists can recommend an appropriate sale to help you achieve the highest price at auction.
What are silver hallmarks and how do I identify them?
Pieces of antique silver often have hallmarks or stamps indicating the purity of the silver, location of manufacture, date and maker. In England, hallmarks can be easily identified as far back as the late 16th century, but many other countries or individual manufacturers have used hallmarks as a form of consumer protection throughout history. Sotheby's specialists can identify authentic hallmarks on your silver, so please be sure that your submission includes detailed photos of any marks.
How do I ship my silver to be sold at Sotheby's?
All objects sold in our live or online auctions are safely secured at Sotheby's during the consignment period while our specialists catalogue the objects and as collectors and buyers inspect their prospective purchases. Once our specialists have provided you with an estimate and a sale recommendation for your antique silver, they will provide shipping quotes and logistical support. Sotheby’s works with white-glove shipping companies across the globe which can safely package and ship even the most precious pieces of antique silver.
How much does a Sotheby's appraisal of my antique silver cost?
Our estimate valuations are complimentary and do not cost you anything. We review all submissions and provide valuations for silver we believe we can sell at auction. We will inform you if your silver is not a good fit for a Sotheby's sale, and we will do our best to provide you with a recommendation of another venue to sell your antique silver.
