Our next auction will take place on 9 April 2024. Consignments are welcome until the end of 2023 – we are looking forward to your offers!
A takeover of larger consignments to the auction is of course also possible on site; the transport to Berlin will then be carried out by us. Alternatively, we can arrange for pick-up by a specialized art and valuables transport company. In any case, your consignment is fully insured until the auction.
J. A. Stargardt’s first autograph auction took place in 1859. We have been holding one or two auctions a year since the 1950s, which are among the highlights in the international trade and are attended by many private collectors, librarians, archivists and dealers from all over the world.
A comprehensive catalogue with detailed descriptions of all autographs is published for the auctions. Scans of all items are available online.
Due to our many years of experience and our unique market position, our auctions offer the ideal environment to achieve the best possible prices for your autographs.
