Friendly, efficient.
Material Culture has wonderful offerings year in and year out. Questions are answered quickly, and they have great expertise in the areas that they handle. Working with the Philapelphia Mailroom on shipping makes for a smooth and affordable process (on my last auction item of seven fragile figures, the shipping and handling was less than 1/3 of that quoted by the Liveauctioneers shipping service).

Handy Live Auctioneers shipping option!
Great auctions, especially Haitian art. I really liked (and used) the Live Auctioneers shipping option and ability to get shipping quotes before auction.

Items represented well. Objects meet or exceed expectations.
Material Culture has some quality objects. The Lega mask I got is really beautiful and the material/rich patina compares well to other masks I've seen many times in museums, catalogues and galleries. Just stunning. It came on a high quality stand. The packing was efficient, layers of wadded paper to fill cavities, which was a little surprising, but it supported the stand and the object well and did not damage the friable kaolin. It let the object stay secure and motionless inside more layers of cushion. Nice job. When there was a slight delay in shipping they were responsive and corrected the issue.

Smooth, reliable experience — again
This was my second time working with Material Culture, and everything went smoothly. The recommended shipper, Philadelphia Mailroom, was great — they provided a fair quote and were extremely communicative throughout the entire process. 10/10, would definitely use again.
