AAG is based in Amsterdam, the centre of the Netherlands’ art and antiques business and the focal point for the international art trade.
AAG deals in high-quality art, antiques, wines, and collectibles in the broadest sense of the term. Its sales are therefore of interest to a wide public. Lots are organized according to type and price class, ensuring that each will be seen by as many potential buyers as possible. Moreover, each object consigned for sale is given maximum exposure in the catalogue, which is also posted on many international platforms.
AAG offers the highest standards of service to both buyers and sellers. Anyone considering offering a lot at auction can depend on a rapid response, specialised advice and support, and prompt settlement following a successful sale. Specialist valuations are provided with no further obligation. Our team will also be pleased to offer valuations for estate and inheritance matters. Items consigned for auction are brought to the attention of selected prospective purchasers, shown on our website, listed prominently on online platforms, and displayed on viewing days. Where appropriate, additional publicity, including media coverage of exceptional lots, is arranged.
Items that are unsold during the auction itself may be offered for ‘aftersale’, either through our website or discreetly via our network of contacts.
If our specialists believe that an object will achieve a higher sale price elsewhere, we will mediate with the appropriate parties, whether in the Netherlands or abroad, on the consignor’s behalf.
Prospective purchasers are informed about forthcoming sales through mailing lists, advertisements, media coverage, social media, our website, and international platforms (such as Artnet, Artprice, and Invaluable among others). Buyers can be assured of accurate information regarding the provenance and quality of the items offered for sale. Prior to the auction, our specialists will gladly advise on the condition of the lots and explain how the estimated price has been derived.
AAG has its own experienced team who can advise on the vast majority of the items offered for sale in the major categories. We can also call upon an extensive network of specialists, including art historians, collectors, and museums, who have specific knowledge of more unusual objects.
