Bidder Reviews for Clarke Auction Gallery (499)

Nothing crazy to add here: folks at Clarke were very friendly and helpful. This was my first auction purchase and they were very helpful in guiding me in what I needed to do (e. g. suggested recommended shippers, guidance on the release form to be completed). They have a beautiful selection of high end items. I look forward to doing business with them again.

Communication with the auction house is top notch and items are very accurately described. They are very accommodating as far as shipping or pick up of items. Over all very happy with this auction house.

One of my favorite auction houses. Very wide selections, very accurate descriptions. Staff always helpful and always make time to answer questions. I buy here regularly.

good

Very happy with it!

Great offerings, great communication prior and post auction services. Very easy payment and overall a great Auction House to do business with A + + + + +

The retro gold and silver brooch has description to be mentioned as they have diamonds in them but once I received the items and got them checked, there is not a single diamond in the brooch as mentioned in the description. Also, the pearl necklace seems to be misrepresented by not mentioning they are cultured pearls. It is expected from a reputed auction house to have accurate description of the items that are present in the auction. Having glass instead of diamonds and new cultured pearls clearly not being stated is utter disappointing. I have tried multiple times to write an email to them but have not received any response so far. I wish to find a resolution for this purchase made as it has become too costly for me for items that donot contain even real diamonds which is a basic requirement by an auction house to check the material of the items with accuracy. Kindly respond to my emails so that some resolution can be made for these items purchased due to misrepresentation.

Very nice people to deal with

I have been buying at Clarke for almost 10 years. They almost always have amazing items, and are extremely wonderful to deal with. A local gem with an international following. Michael

These days Covid-19 all over the world.. I bought many pieces from Americans auctioneers and I payed credit card.. unfortunately Clarke company they said we don’t accept credit and they only take bank transfer.. COVID-19 days I wend for bank transfer my bank … they must be more helpful for foreign buyers

Very Impressive Auction House and Staff

I purchased two chairs from this auction house. One of the chairs had some damage on it that was disclosed in pictures from the auction house. When the chairs arrived, however, I was very surprised to find significant damage that had not been disclosed in pictures or writing by the auction house, and the chairs were completely dismantled-all of the custom/unique legs had been removed in a manner that cannot easily be re-placed. I tried repeatedly to contact the auction house by email and by phone and received no response.

The large painting I won in auction was just a little too big to fit in my Rogue. The staff helped me attached it to the roof of the car and I got it home successfully! (Glad it was a clear day.) Everyone was very friendly & helpful and seemed to enjoy their work.
