Please include basic photos of any items that you wish to consign. If they have identifying or designer labels, please photograph the labels also. (We don't need anything beyond a simple snapshot--you can shoot the items on a hanger or laying on a bed with a mobile phone camera.)

Individuals: Augusta Auctions continually seeks quality fashion & textile consignments from private collections and estates, be it a lifelong collection or one singular item. You can find a general list of the types of items we seek (and don’t seek) below; the best way to begin an enquiry is to submit basic photos and information via email. Generally, we will not accept a collection that is only suitable for our Dust & Glitter or Discovery sales unless those items are accompanying special items for our online catalog sales. Due to tracking and paperwork constraints, we typically seek a consignment of 15 or more lots. For unique or very important pieces, we may waive this limitation and auction a small consignment of special pieces for you. Just ask!

Institutions: Augusta Auctions has proudly represented top museums, historical societies, universities & other institutions across the country in bringing their deaccessions and patron donations to market for over 25 years. You can find a list of just a few of our deaccession clients here. We are specialists in museum deaccession, and uniquely equipped to handle institutional deaccessions in a prompt professional manner, presenting items to the highest standard and netting high-yield proceeds from our international customer base at public sale.
