Lone Star provides our consignors with one of the most competitive seller’s commission structures in the fine art industry based on the rarity, desirability, condition, and value of the artwork being consigned. There are also no additional fees charged to sellers. We offer low seller’s fees for one simple reason and that is to provide the highest possible sale price to our consignors. We invite you to compare our seller’s commission to other international, national, or regional auction houses and in doing so, we are confident you will very quickly realize that Lone Star’s commitment to consignors is truly unique and industry leading.
