PROPERTY PICK-UP/SHIPPING/STORAGE POLICY: Thank you for your participation in our auction during these extraordinary times. Though we do not ship to winning bidders ourselves, to help make the buying process as easy and hassle-free as possible, we are relaxing our curbside pickup procedure for this sale. With restrictions on gallery access and transportation currently in place, we are happy to store all purchases onsite until normal transportation options resume (up to 60 days following the close of the sale). As of now, our local UPS store will be able to pick up and deliver small purchases, and our shipping partner, DAKS Global, can pick up any item you may purchase. Feel free to make arrangements with them if you are eager to receive your purchase right away. If you plan to pick up your purchase in person, it is important to call us in advance to make an appointment. We have developed a curbside pickup procedure that meets state mandated social distancing requirements. If you have a third party shipper you prefer to use, we can hold your item until they can safely make curbside pickup arrangements. We appreciate you letting us know as soon as possible what shipping method you choose, so we can make the appropriate accommodations for a smooth transaction. We will keep in touch with successful bidders via email as the situation progresses. Take care and stay healthy. Read more
