The second part of the sales season at Il Ponte Casa d'Aste opens with the Books and Manuscripts auction on 21 September, whose department is constantly growing thanks to its ability to offer rare works sought after by collectors worldwide. [...]
If you are unable to attend in person you can submit a written or a telephone bid by using the “Absentee bid form" which must be received by Il Ponte Auction House no later than 24 hours before the beginning of the sale in question.
In the case of a written bid, Il Ponte will participate on your behalf and will bid against any other competitor until the maximum offer indicated on the form is reached.
In the case of a telephone bid, Il Ponte will contact you some lots before those for which you have requested to bid, granted the starting price is guaranteed – detail which may be obtained by the department staff – and will follow your instructions as to subsequent bids.
