Miller & Miller is internationally recognized as a trusted place to source investment-grade antiques and collectibles. Join our following of discerning collectors across the globe.
Our ‘Simulcast’ auctions extend the physical auction experience to a virtual audience of eager bidders across the world. Our online sales platform allows us to webcast the live auction to a worldwide audience. Lots are sold in order, one-by-one, by a live auctioneer in real time using video and audio streaming. Our auctioneers drive excitement by encouraging participation before the hammer goes down.
You can trust the family whose roots have been deep within antiques industry since 1977. With our decades of experience, we remain Canada’s Trusted Seller of High Value Collections.
We have developed relationships with specialists from all categories to provide guaranteed, professional information about your specific product category.
We have developed a following of quality customers by curating quality auctions. Our focus is on quality, not quantity - everything is vetted with clear guidelines.
We have developed relationships with powerhouse buyers over generations. Our exclusive database is a ‘who’s who’ in the world of collecting.
Guaranteed catalogue descriptions increase the amount buyers are willing to spend by instilling buyer confidence. In contrast, consider the fear and apprehension caused by vague “buyer beware” descriptions, condition reports, and photographs. If important details cannot be accounted for, collectors will assume the worst and bid accordingly. Instilling buyer confidence through accurate and guaranteed catalogue descriptions is important to us, and our results prove it.
We all know what it feels like to be "nickel and dimed”. Our competitive commission fees range from 15% to 25% depending on the category and value of the consignment. Unlike many premier auction houses, there are no “hidden” seller’s fees for research, professional photography, cataloguing, insurance, storage, packing services, marketing or advertising.
Despite the trend of outsourcing, we prefer to directly control the entire process. We look after everything while you sit back and await your cheque.
One of the greatest apprehensions of online buyers is ‘will my purchase arrive safely?’. Our qualified shipping team takes this responsibility personally. Your consignments are within the reach of a global marketplace with our full-service, in-house shipping department. We ship “at-cost” to allow buyers to budget more for your consignment. Items are disassembled and packed in custom double-walled corrugated boxes using poly wrap, soft foam edging, bubble wrap and other cutting-edge materials. Our professional packing increases the confidence of international bidders.
We are always available to provide guidance on selling collections whether its yours or one you know of. We provide you with professional advice on reserves, market value, sale timing, and market conditions.
Provenance matters to collectors, so providing background information through storytelling can add serious value to a collection. The Miller Times is a quarterly online magazine featuring auction highlights and collector profiles. With a growing subscribership of over 7000 passionate collectors, the stories connect collectors around the globe.
We invite qualified collectors from our exclusive database to compete for your items. We have 23 countries with regular buyers. 94% average sell-through rate. 18,000 buyer-targeted mail-outs per auction. 7002 subscribers to Miller Times quarterly. 900 regularly placed bids at each auction. 52% of lots are shipped outside of Ontario. With over 7,000 active users in our global mailing list, we expose your collection to all interested collectors.
