Why consign with Le Shoppe Auction House

Unmatched Category Expertise

Our team’s expertise informs valuation and helps present your pieces in a way that buyers trust. 

Accredited Professional Appraisers and Credible Estimates

Our valuation team includes accredited appraisers through the American Society of Appraisers and the International Society of Appraisers. Estimates and reserves are researched, credible, and defensible, supporting a transparent process that is especially helpful for estates and fiduciaries. 

Competitive Consignor Rates

We offer commission structures designed to reward consignors, and in many cases our rates outperform traditional auction houses so consignors can retain more of the final hammer price.

Global Exposure and Competitive Bidding

Our auctions attract collectors, dealers, and design enthusiasts worldwide. By placing your art, furniture, and design pieces in front of an international audience of qualified buyers, we maximize visibility and encourage competitive bidding.

Strong Track Record of Exceptional Results

We are recognized for market-leading results in modern and contemporary art, sculpture, and design, and we position consignments strategically to connect with buyers who recognize true market value.

A Simplified, Seller-Friendly Auction Process

From initial inquiry to final payment, the process is streamlined for ease and efficiency. Simply submit photos online. Our team handles authentication, cataloging, photography, marketing, logistics, and buyer coordination, with respectful handling and discretion throughout.

  • Share photos and basic details (dimensions, condition, known maker or provenance).
  • We provide researched estimates and discuss reserve strategy.
  • We manage cataloging, photography, and marketing, then launch the lot to a global buyer base.
  • After the sale, we coordinate buyer logistics and finalize payment.

The Post-Auction Advantage

If an item does not meet reserve, we do not default to shipping it back like many traditional auction houses. We can seamlessly transition the item to our established retail platforms, introducing it to a new audience and extending its selling potential. This includes our retail showroom.

Serving Southeast Michigan and Metro Detroit Sellers

If you are in Southeast Michigan or Metro Detroit and want an auction partner that can reach far beyond the region, Le Shoppe Auction House is built to do both: local consignor support with global bidding reach.
