How do I sell antiques collection?
I inherited a large theatrical collection dating from 1850 which the V&A museum says is of inestimable value. I found museums in the UK & USA who are interested but I don't know how to market the collection or how to converse with these types of people.Auction dealers get toffee-nosed & only want to auction the Will-Look-Good-In-Our-Auction-Brochure Oil Painting, ignoring the collection as a whole. I have already been advised not to separate the collection. There are some items there which are famous. All I have to work with in my search is the internet - but the antiques & collectibles sites only deal with Beanies or thimbles or comic books, and so on. I have not found a really serious site where really serious people look for the stuff of museum collections.
Before anyone gives the answer - the library is of no help whatsoever.
Has anyone got a clue?
IF its something you thik you can make good coin on, photograph everything, place ads in theater journals, send announcements to museums, gallerys, etc...
Describe all you have. Make a catalog. Advertise the collection as a set, and see what responses you get.
Dont make an auction announcement until you get an idea of what response you get.
Pay an theatrical appraiser a couple hundred $$'s to give you a round figure for the collection. Contact museums, etc..., for as much contact info as you can, for other galleries, etc...
