Three steps to consigning
We specialise in books, prints, manuscripts and autographs from the Middle Ages to the present day. In addition, we also offer small sculptures, multiples and paintings in the modern and contemporary prints department.
In order to meet the interests of our broad international customer base and at the same time remain competitive, objects in the Venator & Hanstein range must fulfil a certain price level.
As a general rule: Each individual item should have a value of at least €500.
