As soon as we receive the pieces that are to be auctioned, we will classify and catalogue them. For this purpose the objects will be professionally photographed and documented extensively by our expert team. This complex and labour-intensive approach is a prerequisite for a suitable presentation of the pieces in our comprehensive multilingual catalogue as well as on our web site.
