CONSIGNMENT

HOW DOES THE CONSIGNMENT SCHEME WORK?

We operate on a hybrid consignment model. This means we charge a commission on the final sale, typically between 30% and 40%, depending on the price and type of furniture. In addition, we charge a monthly storage and display fee, starting at $600 MXN (adjusted according to the size of the piece).

This fee covers services such as professional photography, secure storage, cataloging, promotion on our channels, and publication in our online store.

The storage charge can be deducted from the commission at the time of sale, thus ensuring the care and best presentation of each piece during the time it remains with us.

RENT

DO YOU OFFER FURNITURE AND DECORATION RENTAL?

Yes, we offer furniture and decorative item rentals ideal for audiovisual productions, films, photo shoots, events, and more. The rental cost is 30% of the sale price for a period of 5 calendar days.

Shipping is at the customer's expense and a security deposit equivalent to the total value of the item is required, which will be refunded upon return in good condition.

This service allows you to access unique, high-quality pieces without having to purchase them, ensuring the ideal ambiance for your project.
