Private fine art sale through Sable

Sell fine art off-market

Sell a work of art without an auction.

A failed auction can mark a work for years. A private sale avoids that. We show your piece only to checked collectors.

Why not list it publicly

  • Unsold auction lots lose value
  • Auction houses publish results and estimates
  • Private sales keep the price between you and the buyer

What we check for you

  • Provenance and ownership history
  • Condition report by an independent conservator
  • Authentication where needed
  • Insured, climate-controlled shipping
01How a private sale works
  1. 01

    Tell us about it. No real name needed — you get a code name.

  2. 02

    We agree one clear fee with you, in writing.

  3. 03

    We show it only to buyers whose funds we have checked.

  4. 04

    The buyer pays Escrow.com. Funds are held there, not by us.

  5. 05

    You hand over. Escrow.com releases the money to you.

Your identity is never revealed to the buyer or anyone else. Sable never holds your money — every payment goes through Escrow.com.

Ready when you are.
