What is CHIAME?

CHIAME is an online Auction site dedicated solely to the sale of fine arts, antiques and collectibles offered by a network of independently owned auction houses, dealers, appraisers and other arts professionals. Sales are held in a traditional auction-catalog format entirely online, with each lot accompanied by a number of images, with clear professional descriptions, complete condition reports, and starting bids that are the reserves. While bidding takes place online, most sales on CHIAME offer “live” exhibitions at its associate location so buyers can examine and handle property first-hand.

Advantages for Buyers/Collectors

CHIAME provides an easy-to-use format that presents property from a variety of sellers across the United States, China and other countries. Our sellers are all professionals and objects offered on the CHIAME site are guaranteed for authenticity and condition. CHIAME's regional consignment centers present single objects or entire collections before an international audience at a minimal expense for the seller and buyer.
