About Us
PBA Galleries is one of the largest and most successful specialty auction houses world-over. Devoted to works on paper and related arts, PBA conducts approximately twenty-five gallery auctions in a calendar year and continuous e-gallery auctions of rare books, manuscripts, autographs, maps, atlases, prints and photographs. It is PBA Galleries' primary goal to maintain our high level of standards in the fine arts field and provide the best service to all who are interested in buying and selling at PBA Galleries.
Buying, selling and appraising -- PBA Galleries is a full-service auction house prepared to make the auction experience for all clients exciting, rewarding and profitable. Further, as a specialty auction house, PBA Galleries enjoys the enviable reputation in the antiquarian arts community as an auction house that successfully devotes all its time, energy and scholarship exclusively to rare books and related works on paper.
PBA Galleries' gallery catalogues are known for having finer and more in-depth descriptions than any other auction house. This is due, in part, to our experts who are seasoned professionals with a profound knowledge of rare books, manuscripts, autographs, maps, atlases, prints and photographs, but it is also because we treat each item with the time and respect it deserves. Whatever your collecting interest, our staff is a source of information for sellers and buyers alike.
All information regarding PBA Galleries and the services we provide can be found on our website or by a telephone call, letter, fax, e-mail or personal visit to the auction house. A request to be on our mailing list will deliver PBA Galleries' exciting newsletter to your home or office and keep you apprised of upcoming events.
A subscription to our illustrated gallery catalogues will provide carefully researched and articulate descriptions of each and every item we offer for sale in our gallery auctions. In addition, these catalogue descriptions can be easily accessed on our website two weeks before every catalogue auction date. Past gallery auctions are archived on our site, providing valuable bibliographic and auction price information. For our online gallery auctions, we photograph and describe every lot posted for auction, giving detailed information to our online bidders.
Personal and discreet, our consignment and bidding departments are always on hand for private consultations. Overall, PBA Galleries is available internationally to all those desiring our services: collector, arts institution, dealer and novice. The odd and obscure; the rare and beautiful, PBA Galleries is the auction source for rare books, manuscripts, autographs, maps, atlases, prints and photographs.
