Salem Auction House is now Salem Art House
There is often a lot more to settling an estate than deciding what to sell. Families, executors, and trustees may suddenly be responsible for artwork, antiques, household contents, collections, vehicles, personal belongings, and a home — all while dealing with unfamiliar decisions and deadlines. Salem Art House helps make the process more manageable.
We begin with the goals of the people responsible for it. The objective is not necessarily to place everything into a single sale — different objects may require different solutions.
For appropriate estates, we can organize and market property for auction — intake, organization, research, photography, cataloging, and auction administration. The specific services depend on the estate.
Artwork is sometimes overlooked during a general liquidation. We take particular care with paintings, works on paper, photography, sculpture, and other art so significant pieces are considered individually.
Many estates include both the contents of a home and the home itself. Thoughtful coordination — auction schedules, property removal, home preparation, and real-estate marketing — can make an estate transition considerably easier. When real estate is involved, we can coordinate the personal-property process with the licensed professional handling the sale.
If you are responsible for an estate and are uncertain where to begin, a conversation is often the best first step.
