How does The White Glove work for guarantors?

STEP 3

Confirmation
and auction


Once your offer is accepted, watch as your selected collectible goes to auction, backed by your guarantee. You’ll have a direct stake in the auction outcome, with the potential for immediate financial returns.

STEP 1

Explore exclusive art and collectibles


Browse our curated selection of art and collectibles. All items are housed with leading auction houses and open for guarantees.

STEP 2

Submit your offer


Submit a guarantee offer on a collectible that sparks your interest. This commits you to buying the item at your offered price if it doesn’t fetch a higher bid at auction.

STEP 4

Reap the rewards

EXAMPLE 1:

If the item sells for more than your guarantee


Guarantors receive a pre-determined fee for providing the guarantee, as well as your agreed share of the upside (the difference between your guaranteed offer and the final hammer price). This structure rewards your willingness to support the auction and offers a lucrative return on your commitment.

Sellers receive the guaranteed price plus their agreed share of the upside.

EXAMPLE 2:

If you win the auction


Guarantors buy the collectible at the previously agreed price. You get the item at a pre-approved value you’re happy to invest, turning your guarantee into a strategic acquisition.


Sellers benefit from a sale at the guaranteed price, ensuring peace of mind regardless of the bidding activity on auction day.

After the auction

Payment and transfer


The White Glove manages all financial transactions directly with the guarantor. This means the guarantor either pays to or receives funds from The White Glove, simplifying the entire process. Our platform ensures a seamless and secure transaction, making it hassle-free for everyone involved.

We’ll support you
from start to finish


The White Glove team will guide you through every step, ensuring a transparent and straightforward process from auction to completion.
