People have different reasons for selling their chattels. Whether it is through change of circumstances, to raise money, or simply to make changes to a collection there are many factors involved in deciding how best to approach the disposal of chattels:

• What is the present market value of my property?
• Should I sell privately or at public auction?
• What are the costs?
• How do I get the best deal?
• Can it be done quickly?
• Can it be done confidentially?

With over fifteen years of experience working for international auction houses, and latterly as a Managing Director for Bonhams, Mark Richards is ideally situated to act as agent offering professional advice while negotiating the best deal for you. Knowing where and when to place items for sale will help maximise the realised price, and using the biggest names is not necessarily the best way.

MJR Fine Art can also oversee the logistics and administration of disposal, saving the client much time while reporting directly to them.
