Sterling silver — whether in the form of flatware, serving trays, candlesticks, or decorative items — often holds more value than people realize. Yet for many in Minneapolis, the question remains: where is the best place to sell sterling silver at auction?
If you're looking for a local, professional, and seller-focused experience, SebastianCharles Auctions stands out as the clear choice.
With a deep understanding of sterling silver, a transparent consignment process, and a reputation for delivering results, SebastianCharles remains the top destination for Minneapolis-area sellers ready to bring their silver to market.
When sold at auction, sterling silver can outperform melt prices — especially when design, craftsmanship, or provenance come into play. An experienced auction house knows how to identify and highlight these factors, ultimately attracting the right buyers who recognize quality.
Auction also creates competitive tension — something private sales and buyout offers often lack. This can result in stronger realized prices, particularly for sets, antique silver, and named makers.
As a Minneapolis-based auction house, SebastianCharles brings a level of professionalism and local accessibility that’s hard to find elsewhere. The team has worked with countless sellers across the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, offering straightforward guidance from the moment you reach out.
Here’s what makes the experience unique:
Every piece of sterling silver is carefully assessed for its value, not just its weight. Whether it’s a full flatware service or a single tea pot, SebastianCharles ensures accurate descriptions, proper attribution, and presentation that appeals to serious buyers.
From your initial inquiry to final settlement, the consignment process is built to be simple and transparent. There’s no guesswork, no hidden steps — just a clear path that keeps you informed and confident along the way.
Once accepted for auction, your items are professionally photographed, cataloged, and marketed. You don’t have to manage the details — SebastianCharles handles them with care.
If your sterling silver is part of a larger estate or household downsizing, SebastianCharles offers estate clear-out services. This includes the sorting, removal, and sale of not only silver, but also additional valuables like jewelry, decorative arts, and collectibles.
