Valuation

Lachlan Burnet provides written valuations for single items or entire collections for insurance, probate, family division, matrimonial or superannuation purposes. Alternatively, you simply might be curious to know the current market value of a piece or an entire collection.

We value fine art, decorative arts, furniture; objet d’art, Australian indigenous art, ethnographic art, artefacts and books. When necessary we call on leading experts for a second opinion to ensure the accuracy of your valuation.

Auctions

Whether your organisation holds auctions regularly or just as a one off, Lachlan Burnet can assist you with everything from the pre-auction tasks including selection of lots, cataloguing, sequencing, estimates and reserve prices and cataloguing through to the auction itself. Alternatively, you may wish to hire Lachlan for the most critical role, that of auctioneer.

Brokerage

As a totally independent brokerage we can help you find the best place for you to sell a particular object. This is of value when selling a high ticket item as it can significantly influence the price obtained.

Consultancy

Our consultation services can advice on object’s identification and investment potential, its condition and implement appropriate action, insurance options, as well as collection management.

Pro Bono

Every year Lachlan provides his auction services pro bono to a limited number of causes in which he passionately believes. If you would like to enquire please contact us.
