FAQ's | Selling with Gibson's

Gibson's is a multi-departmental auction house. We have specialists across all areas of collecting including Australian & International Art, Chinese & Asian Works of Art, International Decorative Arts, Furniture, Australian History, Jewellery & Watches and Luxury & Designer. Learn more about each department below.

If we are unable to assist you with your valuation or enquiry, we will certainly know someone who can.
