3. Pre-bidding
From the publication of the online catalogue until 12,00 pm Wednesday 17 June 2026, you may:
- place online bids on www.bertolamifineart.com or via the partner portals as listed in Section 1 a;
- submit absentee bids as outlined in Section 1 b.
In the event of:
- One single pre-auction bid on a lot
In the absence of additional bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded at the starting price even if the sole bid received is higher (the pre-auction bid represents the maximum amount the bidder is willing to pay).
Example: Starting price € 1,000 – Single pre-auction bid € 1,500 – Lot awarded at € 1,000
- Multiple pre-auction bids of the same amount on the same lot
In the absence of additional bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the earlier bidder.
- Multiple pre-auction bids of the same amount on the same lot submitted via different portals
In the absence of additional bids during the auction, if bids of the same amount have been placed through different portals, the lot will be awarded to the bidder who placed the bid on www.bertolamifineart.com, even if this bid was submitted after those placed on the partner portal Bidinside.
- Multiple pre-auction bids of different amounts on the same lot
In the absence of additional bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the highest pre-auction bidder. The hammer price will be calculated by adding a predetermined increment, as set out in the table below (Table A), to the amount of the next lowest bid.
Example: Bidder A €1,270, Bidder B €1,800. Bidder B wins, not at €1,800, but at €1,370. The automatic increment of €100 for bids within the €1,000–1,999 range is applied to the immediately lower bid.
