We at William Smith Auctions want to thank all our customers for bearing with us through this time of uncertainty. The state of New Hampshire has implemented a "Stay At Home" order and we are complying. In the mean time we are looking ahead and making plans to move forward with our auctions. We want to assure you that we will take all necessary steps to make sure that our gallery is a safe place for all.

Consignments, we are actively doing online assessments of your treasures, feel free to send photos to info@wsmithauction.com. Also see our auction schedule as we have several different genres and we are always in search of desirable items to add to these exciting upcoming events.

We are planning to move forward in May with our auction schedule, we will take necessary steps to help alleviate concerns with everyone's well being, the following changes are being implemented.

We will be offering private previews by appointment, we will limit the number of customers in the gallery one time, therefore time slots will be given. At the end of each appointment we will clean the gallery with antibacterial and viral cleaner preparing for the next group.

The auction day, hopefully we will be allowed in house bidders, though likely limited, therefore will require gallery seat reservations. Each party will have their reserved seats properly placed keeping in mind social distancing, space will be limited based on this need so first come first serve. Outdoor seating will also be offered.

Online bidding, I'm sorry to say we are being forced to implement this service something as most of you know William Smith Auction's has fought against, however we have no other choice moving forward with this service out of concern for our customers well being, we will help clients with tutorials on how to participate via online bidding.

We will offer better description reports to our catalogues along with condition reports to help alleviate any uncertainty for bidders who might not be able to attend.

I truly hope at some point this summer things get back to normal, whatever that new normal might be. I am making these changes because we all need to move forward with business safely, our employees want to get back to work, our dealers are in need of material to sell and our collectors and private buyers are forever in search of objects that bring joy to their lives.

Looking forward to better days ahead, please be safe.
