  • Winnipeg Valuation Day a Success for Clients & Winnipeg Harvest

    Continuing our tradition of cross-country consultation with clients, Consignor recently held a Valuation Day event at Mayberry Fine Art in Winnipeg. The day was a hectic one, attracting interest and excitement from individuals throughout the region. Consignor and Mayberry’s specialists were kept busy throughout the day, viewing and researching artworks in order to provide some insight to the owners. The consultations led to multiple consignments towards Consignor’s fall auctions, however the clear winner at the end of the day was Winnipeg Harvest, the Valuation Day event held to benefit the charity. Thank you to all who attended and shared your day with us!

    Below Lydia and Rob speak with Winnipeg media regarding the Valuation Day event.
