How to Buy

How to buy at auction


There are several ways to partecipate in Ambrosiana auctions: 

  • telephone bid  
    by downloading and filling in the form for telephone bids and sending it by e-mail or fax, at least 24 hours before the beginning of the auction. The form needs to contain the lots you're interested in, in order to get a call during the auction by one of our operators. 
  • written bid
    by downloading and filling in the form for written bids and sending it by e-mail or fax, at least 24 hours before the beginning of the auction. The form needs to contain the lots you're interested in and the maximum bid for each of them. You can not retract written bids once they've been sent. 
  • online with My Ambrosiana 
    you need to login to your Personal Area on our website, if you don't have a personal account you need to complete the registration "register now" in our portal. In this case we have to enable your account, so that you need to register at least 24 hours before the beginning of the auction. From your Personal Area you can follow the auction in real-time and make your bids. It's important to be careful during the auction, since you can not retract online bids once they've been sent. 
  • online with partner platforms 
    we collaborate with several platforms, where you can follow the live streaming of the auction and partecipate by bidding. Our partners are: ArsValue, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Drouot
