Selling fine art, collections and other significant property with Woodard Lipe begins with a simple evaluation. We provide complimentary initial estimates for fine art, collections, fine jewelry, designer clothing, antiques and other estate property that may be suitable for sale through our Gallery or Auction House.

1. SEND US PHOTOS

Email photographs to info@woodardlipe.com or text them to 314-778-9000. Please include your name and contact information, along with anything you know about the item—artist or maker, dimensions, age, provenance or purchase history. Photographs of signatures, labels and other identifying marks are especially helpful. Don't worry if you don't know much about what you have. That's what we're here to help determine.


2. WE'LL TAKE A LOOK

Our team will review your photographs and information to determine whether the property is a good fit for Woodard Lipe. For larger collections or estates, an in-person evaluation may be the appropriate next step.


3. WE'LL RECOMMEND HOW TO SELL

Not every piece belongs in the same marketplace. Depending on the property, we may recommend gallery consignment, auction, private sale, estate sale, online sale, or another approach designed to reach the right buyers. We'll discuss estimated value, timing and the recommended method of sale with you before you make a decision.


4. WE HANDLE THE DETAILS

Once you decide to work with us, we'll provide documentation outlining the terms of sale. From there, Woodard Lipe handles the work required to bring your property to market—from research, cataloging and presentation to photography, marketing and the sale itself. We can also assist with transportation and logistics when appropriate.

Selling an Entire Estate or Household?
