I SUGGEST CAPITOLIUMART BECAUSE IS A VERY GOOD AUCTION HOUSE

This week Capitolium offered a badly imitated replica of an Eames La Chaise described as "a recent Vitra production". Despite contacting Capitolium several times, all emails remain unanswered. The item was sold at around 5, 500 ��, which would be realistic if it concerned the genuine article. Leaves the buyer taking home a bad replica. In 2019 I acquired a fibreglass chair, which was "attributed to Eames". This kind of description is absurd and very much misleading. The chair itself was nowhere near an Eames design but still a great looking chair in its own right, which would suit any mid century private collection. In my opinion it is clear Capitolium is either intentionally selling items with misleading descriptions or it employs specialists, who are painfully unfamiliar with design classics.

Sono soddisfatto e sono gentili e cordiali.

items in good shape & wonderful packing & fast shipping!!

I won an Meret Oppenheim table on March 8 2023. It is now April 20 and no table. The shipping company this auction house uses is unreliable and has not completed all clearance documents. Once the table arrived in the States, DHL attempted to contact the shipper no less than ten times. I also attempted to reach the shipper and the auction house to no avail. The table is stuck in Cincinnati and will be sent back if the shipper does not complete required documentation. This has been highly disappointing and exhibits low integrity and care for the buyers of this auction house. Buyer, beware.

I am really satisfied and I always bid with great pleasure because I trust them very much

Good experience, swift reply and helpful with the purchase.

Anything deemed to be over 70 years old needs export permit to be shipped out of Italy, and the sole appointed shipper charged extraodinary high expenses.

I have won many auctions, and this is my opinion, but I could not have been more dissatisfied with this auction house. They insisted on a bank transfer which is not only annoying, but expensive. In this way buyers have little option in holding a house accountable should things go south. Then, I heard that this piece would take a while to ship because of some bureaucracy. It was won in late June, and I receive my piece early October! Ridiculous doesn’t even begin to explain it and when reaching out to the auction house did not receive a response and when they did, an incredibly apathetic one, seeing red was an understatement. Again, my take, but I would NEVER think of dealing with them again and still cannot believe the issues that ensued.

The Italian auction house Capitoliumart s. r. l. at Brescia, was most helpful and did a great job in terms of handling and packaging. Most reliable.

Hi I’m a recurrent customer of antique and design goods. A week after winning the auction and made a bank transfer including the buyers premium I’ve been told by a junior person from the auction house that the item wasn’t not available. And that it was a mistake from they’re part to have put it in the auction at the first place. It’s been almost a month now. I have not been refounded or even been able to pick up my lot (trough a special shipping service I use trough all Italia)

Like always great experience. Beautiful sofa, great condition.

Perfect transaction!

The item was sold at closed auction to another person.

I won a small lighting unit and two small sconces for $100. I was surprised it sold for that amount. Apparently, the shipping cost was making for the cost. I was quoted $700-$1000 for the shipping. Never again.

I had a very unpleasant experience with Capitoliumsrt s. r. l. a year ago. The auction house recommended a shipping company called Urban Docks. To make a long story short, the table top arrived completely destroyed at my home. Turns out it wasn't secured correctly (it should have been transported like a glass window, standing up, but was put flat in a crate). All it needed was a small bump and it fell apart. I'm still in a legal fight with the shipping company. Apart from that the measurements of the table top wasn't stated correctly. When I filed a complaint, Capitoliumart s. r. l. refused it, and said the table had to be in the original condition. The case is tricky and a classic shift the blame on others. Never again would I do business with this company.

I really love Capitoliumart for their perfect selection of italian design. Everything was pefect, nice contact, the furnitures are amazing in good condition.

I WOULD ADVISE OTHER FUTURE BIDDERS TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS HEADACHE. POSTERS WERE IN TERRIBLE CONDITION/ONE POSTER HAD DISAPPEARED FROM THE ORDER AND COMPANY ONLY INTERESTED IN COLLECTING THEIR MONEY.

It was my 3rd purchase from Capitoliumart s. r. l. and all the purchase and bidding process was easy and satisfactory. Great selection of italian designers. Thank you for nice and helpful contact.

GOOD EXPERIENCE

I asked to pay my purchase with PayPal and they quickly responded. Responses usually only take 48 hours. Although the shipping was more expensive than the item I purchased, they were extremely professional and helpful. Item was as described. Thank you!

bidders outside Europe need additional permit. Ask bfore you bid.

In my experience Capitoliumart is a very serious auction house on the item proposed and in handling payments and shipments
