Carter's Publications have been publishing price guides on art antiquities, antiques, collectables, retro, vintage and 20th century design for 32 years, and include prices on items from 1500 BC to the present day, with a price range of $5 to over one million dollars.
Our price guide is based on actual selling prices. Remember that prices of antiques and collectables can vary considerably depending on a multitude of factors. We display the actual auction sale price (hammer + buyers premium) that the seller has to pay. The buyers premium is an additional percentage added to the hammer price by the auction house, and typically ranges between 15% and 22%. Please bear in mind that the prices listed are in Australian Dollars.
