Great Auction House
I love Clars Auctions! I have purchased many items from Clars and will undoubtedly purchase many more in the future.

Honest and Helpful
I have searching for an Antonio Jacobsen painting. The one I eventually bought came up at auction. Before the auction, I contacted Clars with questions The lady whom I spoke to (thank you, Shala!) was extremely helpful, patient, and kind. I did win the painting and payment was extremely easing. The shipping through UPS was very secure and the painting arrived a day earlier than expected. A great experience for me! I highly recommend Clars Auctions!! George, Washington, D. C.

Clars deceives bidders.
Clars hides defects and will not resolve problems claiming the bidder was the failure.

Beware!! Bait and switch Auction House. Items in photos claimed to not be in the sale
I have bid on over 100 auctions with Live Auctioneer. I can say with conviction that Clars Auction House is the worst case of bait-and-switch I have experienced. The auction showed a group of small items in all pictures and when the item shipped, it was without a silver capped scottish snuf box. I contacted the auction house and they took over a month to admit that the the pictures were a mistake. They have been unresponsive after that and offered a 'house credit' for use with a future purchase. I dont need a credit for more purchase with a deceptive auction house. You should refund the auction fees because clearly you admit that you messed up. But ethical behavior does not seem to be a speciality here. I have asked LiveAuctioneer to step in and help. We shall see what happens. Needless to say, deeply disappointed at what I see as clear and willful fraud.

All good as usual
Clars has always made any issue I have had right. There have only been a few in ten years of steady purchasing. All good.

They were very helpful assisting me with payment and shipping.
I somehow would up duplicating my payment through both Clars and Live Auctioneers. Clars staff were very helpful and had the duplicate payment through Live Auctioneers promptly reversed.

this clock has some issues of breakage while at Clars and during shipping.
I have sent Clars a list of issue directly to Clars for their awareness. what they do with that info?-time will tell.

Reproduction Not Carved
The item was made of plaster, not carved as described. Glad I didn't pay too much for it. I will never trust their descriptions again. If I can't preview I will not bid. Those of you who bid from a distance... Beware!

I purchased this clock in Dec 2024 for $30. It was never shipped. It cost $75 this time. Plus $196
I have never experienced such treatment in bidding on auction items. I have notified Liveauctioneers of the PROBLEMS with the transaction. I do not think I would recommend ever doing business with CLARS Auction to ANYONE-EVER. some thing was terribly wrong with buying at auction-Back in December 2024 CLARS said it would cost nearly $700 to ship. Then they said someone from a shipper picked it up, Then CLARS said they couldn't find the clock. then CLARS put it back up for auction in MAY 2025. I purchase for more than twice what I purchased it for in Dec 2024. I guess this someone is a sucker.

Clars Auctions does it right-accurate, responsive, great shippers list
Clars photos and description were spot on. Their shippers list is detailed and helpful. Use it. The team at UPS Store 2080 was amazing-very quick pickup, careful packing and shipping fragile pottery.

Excellent items every time I bid!
I have bought several items from Clars and each time they are exactly as described and reasonably priced. Their recommended shipper Premier Pack and Ship also does a great job of packing fragile valuable items for international shipping. Both companies are highly recommended!

One of the best houses around!
I've been buying from Clars for more than 20 years, and selling too. They have always been great to deal with-friendly, professional and helpful. Can't recommend them more highly.

Shipping
My shipping costs were very reasonable. Quite often the shipping quotes I get from various auctioneers are outrageous.
