Freeman's Auction House

Conducts high-end art and antique auctions

Overview

Freeman's Hindman operates as a high-end auction house with coast-to-coast reach, selling fine art, decorative arts, jewelry, books, and other valuable objects. It runs over 140 live and online auctions each year, supported by 175+ specialists, and earns commissions from sellers while offering appraisal, private sales, and art advisory services. Consignors place items with Freeman's Hindman, where specialists assess value and market them through auctions and private sales, with the firm handling the entire process from consignment to sale, including logistics, authentication, cataloging, and buyer outreach. The merger creates the largest coast-to-coast presence among U.S. auction houses, targets the upper-middle market, and uses its broad catalog and advisory services to connect sellers with buyers at strong market prices through a full-service, transparent experience.
