Buying at Auction

To ensure the greatest visibility and accessibility for the collections we bring to auction, Farber Auctioneers & Appraisers conducts all sales online through multiple trusted platforms, while giving priority access to bidders through our own website. This approach allows us to provide the highest level of exposure for each collection while offering our cultivated audience of collectors, dealers, and connoisseurs from around the globe the convenience of viewing, participating, and bidding from anywhere in the world.

Our online auction system is designed with both clarity and ease of use in mind. Each sale is accompanied by a comprehensive, fully illustrated digital catalog featuring detailed lot descriptions, high-resolution photographs, and all available information regarding provenance and condition. In addition, our clients benefit from the ability to communicate directly with our knowledgeable staff to request further details or clarifications. We also offer flexible bidding options, including live online bidding during the auction as well as absentee bidding for those unable to participate in real time.

For clients who prefer to personally examine the items prior to sale, we provide private, by-appointment previews at our Lambertville, NJ location during the week leading up to the auction. These previews offer bidders the opportunity to carefully inspect lots of interest, ask questions, and gain further confidence in their bidding decisions. For those unable to visit in person, our staff is readily available by phone or email to provide condition reports, provenance details, and any additional information needed to assist with the evaluation process.
