Selling sterling silver — whether flatware, serving pieces, heirloom trays, or decorative objects — requires more than just listing it and hoping for the best. It requires accurate evaluation, market-savvy presentation, and an auction house that knows how to get your silver in front of the right buyers.
In Minnesota, SebastianCharles Auctions stands out as the most trusted and effective option for consignors looking to sell sterling silver with clarity and confidence.
Sterling silver is often undervalued or misunderstood in secondary markets. Many sellers assume melt weight is the only measure of value — but well-made or antique sterling silver frequently sells far above its metal content. Design, maker, age, and condition all contribute to how well a piece performs at auction.
That’s why choosing the right auction partner matters. A good auction house will know how to properly identify marks, spotlight the right details, and market silver to serious buyers. And for that level of service in Minnesota, SebastianCharles leads the way.
SebastianCharles Auctions has earned its reputation by making the consignment experience streamlined, transparent, and tailored to each seller. The team understands the nuances of sterling silver — from early 20th-century American flatware to Victorian presentation pieces and mid-century modern design.
