auktionshuset.com only offers items for sale that have been described and valued by our
own specialists. The specialists describe the items factually and objectively in good
faith.
Since all lots are sold as quality used items or equivalent, normal wear and tear and any
smell from e.g. a smoker home are not described. We try to describe or photograph any
defects and flaws beyond those caused by normal wear and tear.
A single lot only comprises several pieces if there is a logical connection between these.
For larger suites of furniture and sets of glassware or porcelain to be accepted in our
online catalogue they need to have a higher expected hammer price than single items –
as a rule EUR 650 for larger suites of furniture and EUR 400 for larger sets of glassware or
porcelain.
Guarantee
If, after the sale has taken place, it is acknowledged that the lot description was
vitiated by significant mistakes or flaws, or that the item was in considerably worse
condition than presumed, you have the right to annul the purchase and the purchase price
will be fully reimbursed, or you will receive an appropriate price reduction.

Wine
At Auktionshuset.com we do not only sell young wines but also older wines that are not available
for sale in the shops. Wine – and in particular older wine – is a sensitive
product. Therefore Auktionshuset.com cannot guarantee the drinkability of the wine we
sell. In the case of wine, only the label and bottle condition are described. Read more about wine...
Explanations
If a lot number consists of two or more items, this is noted in brackets at the end of the
description, e.g. Dining room chairs (6).
The term 'pair' designates 2 identical objects such as a pair of chairs. In this case the
number of items is still added in brackets.
With regard to framed pictorial art, frames are not catalogued or appraised. There can be
exceptions if a frame is particularly rare or special, or if it has been produced by a known
framer.
For items with a keyhole or lock it is stated in the lot description whether or not a key is
included.
