At Stenella Antiques & Interiors, we are pleased to offer consignment services for clients looking to sell high-quality furniture pieces that align with our inventory and aesthetic. Here’s everything you need to know about our consignment process:
Quality Brands
We specialize in consignment for well-maintained pieces from reputable manufacturers such as Henkel Harris, Kindel, Karges, Stickley, EJ Victor, and other similar high-quality brands.
Approval Process
To ensure consistency in our offerings, all items must be approved by our team prior to drop-off or pickup. This helps us maintain the quality and style standards we uphold.
Display and Marketing
Consigned items will be showcased on our website, through third-party marketplaces, and in our showrooms, reaching a wide audience of potential buyers.
Comprehensive Commission
Our commission covers a range of services, including:
Minor cleanup of the item
Professional photography
Marketing efforts across platforms
Payment processing for transactions
Storage and shipping logistics for buyers
Extra Charges for Repairs
Please note that while our standard commission includes basic services, additional charges may apply for repairs such as missing glass, wood refinishing, detailed touch-ups, upholstery, etc. These costs will be evaluated and discussed before proceeding.
Shipping Costs
To ease the burden on sellers, Stenella Antiques & Interiors can front the shipping costs to our warehouse. This means sellers won’t need to incur expenses prior to the sale. The cost for these shipping services will be deducted from the seller's account once the items are successfully sold.
Why Consign with Us?
Our expert consignment process ensures your antiques are presented at their best, competitively priced, and sold efficiently. With market expertise, dynamic pricing, and exceptional service, we make selling your items seamless and rewarding.
Best Possible Condition
We strive to offer items in their optimal, ready-for-home-use condition to help ensure fair market pricing and attract potential buyers.
Rough Estimates
Upon request, we are happy to provide sellers with an approximate value range for their items. This gives sellers a clear understanding of what they can reasonably expect during the selling process.
Dynamic Pricing Strategy
Items are typically listed for several weeks. If a piece does not sell within that timeframe, we may slightly reduce the price until the actual sale price is met by a buyer. This strategy ensures we remain competitive in the market.
Market Knowledge
With many years of experience in the furniture industry, Stenella Antiques & Interiors remains current and knowledgeable about today’s market values. We are well-equipped to price items strategically to maximize sales potential.
Timely Sales
Our goal is to sell items efficiently, ensuring that proceeds are provided to sellers and their estates promptly. We understand the importance of quick transactions and work diligently to facilitate this.
Exceptional Customer Service
We pride ourselves on our customer service, ensuring that both sellers and buyers receive attentive and professional support throughout the process.
Shipping and Logistics
We provide comprehensive shipping solutions and additional services to streamline the purchase experience for buyers, making it as convenient as possible.
