In preparation for our Symposium & Photo Fair this fall in Hartford, Connecticut, the Daguerreian Society is now accepting high-quality consignments and donations for its annual Benefit Auction, to be held September 27 during the conference.

An exceptional daguerreotype that sold at a recent Daguerreian Society auction for $32,500 (hammer price). 

We invite you to take part in this exciting event, whether you’re a member of the Society or someone who wants to participate through consigning or donating one or more great images.

We especially seek consignments that will realize a hammer price of $2,000 or more.

Your property will be featured in a small, curated auction and marketed to private collectors and institutions worldwide.

The auction will be held LIVE during the Symposium and broadcast for internet bidding globally. 
The Society offers an extremely competitive consignment fee. 

Consignment deadline: July 15.
