We encourage you to contact our specialists, whose contact information is included on the auction catalogue page. All property in the auction is available for viewing in our exhibitions or by appointment.
Select the lots you wish to bid on and place your maximum bid. You will be asked to either log in or create a new account. You will then be asked to choose your account number and review and accept the Terms & Conditions before placing your first bid. The platform will place incremental bids on your behalf up to the maximum amount specified. Use the ‘Quick Bid’ feature to increase your bid to the next increment.
The closing time noted at the top of the auction page indicates when the first lot will begin to close. As the auction closes, a countdown timer will be displayed for each lot one minute before it closes. Each lot closes in one minute increments and will be extended by two minutes if a bid is placed within the final minute before the lot’s scheduled closing time. Lots may extend for up to two hours to accommodate competitive bidding.
To place an ‘absentee bid’ or ‘advance bid’ ahead of the live auction, find your desired lot and select ‘Place Bid.’ Set your maximum bid amount. Once you have chosen your bid amount, select ‘Continue to Confirm Bid.’ You will then be asked to either log in or sign up for a Iskenderian account. Select your Account to bid under, accept the Terms & Conditions, and confirm your bid. You will be asked to do this only once, upon placing your first bid in the auction. You will receive a confirmation of your absentee or advance bid on screen and via email. If you are outbid during this portion of the auction (before the live auction begins), you will receive notification on iskenderian.ch if you are logged in, via email. The advance and absentee portion of the auction will culminate in the live auction on the advertised date.
