During the past few year, I have worked with several well known and well respected Auction houses…read morein the United States and Switzerland. However I can not speak highly enough of my experiences with Heritage Auctions. Whether I'm participating in a Watch auction as a buyer or seller, I have relied on the expert advice of the staff in the Heritage Watches and Timepieces Department, and I have benefited greatly through my dealings specifically with Josh H. Josh has reliably advised me and expertly guided me through all phases of the process. And just as valuable to me has been his ability to keep me informed about important developments in the whole watch collecting community. Please ask for him specifically when asking for assistance in your watch collecting journey. You will be very pleased.

Impeccable attention to detail and expert hands on my consignments all through the process. A friendly, professional, and delightful Director of Fine Jewelry guided me through the process keeping everything transparent and easy breezy. Sales realized were fantastic. Couldn't be in better hands. Simply the best.

As I stated in my review of Christie's, you can visit many of the NYC auction houses for free,…read moreincluding Sotheby's. You never know what you might find here--I saw original copies of Hamilton's Federalist Papers, Paul Revere's silverware, letters signed by George Washington. Paintings and old Egyptian artifacts. I feel like there was more to see here than at Christie's and the selection was more interesting. Again, these things are likely to go into someone's private collection, possibly to never be seen again, so you shouldn't pass up a chance to see something really special.

Sotheby's provided an estimate of $30,000-$50,000 on July 16th 2025 for a fine art painting. They…read morewere very interested and eager to get this painting asap. Because the auction would not be until 2/5/2026 we held on to the painting until closer to that date. My elderly parents were called 20 minutes before the auction and were pressured to put a reserve of $12,000 on the painting. My parents did not want a reserve so Sotheby's started the bid at $1! The auction closed out at less than $2,000 and by the time shipping and fees were taken out it was to leave my parents with proceeds of less than $500. They had my parents send their bank account information 3 times which I did not feel comfortable with. I had called numerous times only to be told that they are waiting on the buyer to pay. For $2,000? This is sothebys right? So back and forth being told today is the day you will receive your deposit. Well nothing has arrived as of 4/22/2026. This whole experience feels like a scam. This is not about a disgruntled seller being unhappy with the dollar amount. It is about the unethical practices that are being conducted by this renowned business. ****Edit..... after many phone calls asking where the laughable proceeds were and given excuse after excuse. I informed them that if the proceeds were not deposited within 24 hrs I would be securing legal counsel. Well lo and behold it showed up less than 24 hrs later. All I can say is fool me once.... Stay far away from this business and the unethical practices they pull on their co-signers. They will pretty much steal your consignment and make you fight for the measly proceeds....****

Hmmm... how to review an auction house? The ambiance is mostly driven by the lots on display for…read morewhatever the upcoming auction is... The prices are set not by management, but by free market forces... There are no "secret finds" because all lots are publicly visible for days before being sold... So, how about a description of what Swann does? They hold auctions of art prints, ranging from old masters to contemporary art. They also auction books, autographs, and maps. And they're good at it. Their experts are knowledgeable. Their catalog descriptions are generally accurate. Post-auction, the lots are professionally packed either for delivery or for on-site pick-up. I've only purchased, never sold, anything through Swann, so I can't directly speak to that side of the business. I do pay attention to the market for modern and contemporary prints and it seems that Swann is realizing good prices for their sellers. For somebody looking to purchase, I would say, do your homework, know what you want and what a reasonable price would be. And if you find it on the block at Swann, be comfortable in the knowledge that your dealings with the auction house will be smooth and professional.
