Discretion, exclusivity, and professional security – all in a new auction format. Starting February 1, 2026, Földváry Auction House will launch its private online auctions, providing an opportunity for the most valuable collections to find new owners in complete tranquility, exclusively among invited guests.
Starting February 1, 2026, the private online auctions will commence
The true value of the art market is not only measurable in prices but also in trust, discretion, and personalized solutions. In this spirit, Földváry Auction House will introduce a new exclusive service starting February 1, 2026: we will launch our private online auctions.
This auction format is specifically designed for those owners who wish to sell their collection not at a public event but in front of a small, carefully selected group of buyers.
Private auction – maintaining unchanged professional standards
During the private online auctions, all professional and legal regulations are exactly the same as the practices applied in the public auctions of the Földváry Auction House.
The only difference is that:
- the auction will not be publicly advertised,
- participation is only possible for the previously invited persons specified by the seller,
- bidding takes place in a closed, discreet environment.
This solution can be an ideal choice for private collectors, family inheritances, corporate collections, or particularly sensitive valuable art sets.
Unique conditions: still only a 10% auction fee
One of the most important principles of the Földváry Auction House is a transparent and owner-friendly fee structure.
This is no different for the private online auctions:
the auction fee remains uniquely only 10%, which is considered an exceptionally favorable condition in both the Hungarian and international markets.
We are convinced that exclusivity should not mean unnecessary additional costs – quality and discretion are accompanied by consistently fair conditions.
Hybrid VIP auctions within the walls of Földváry Castle
If the private auction is held in hybrid format, the unique facilities of Földváry Castle provide a truly special framework for the event.
Upon request, there is an opportunity for:
- an elegant standing reception,
- unique, high-standard gastronomic experiences,
- as well as the use of VIP auction rooms,
where invited guests can bid on-site, yet in complete discretion, shielded from curious eyes.
The atmosphere of the castle is both representative and calm – an ideal environment for thoughtful decisions.
Complete discretion and security
During the organization of the private auctions, the Földváry Auction House guarantees full discretion.
During the event:
- no unauthorized person may enter the castle premises,
- if necessary, on-site security will ensure the entrance,
- every technical and organizational detail serves to ensure an undisturbed process.
Personalized solution for those who entrust their value to us
The private online auction is not a mass product, but a trust-based service.
It was created for those for whom the method of selling is at least as important as the result.
The expert team of Földváry Auction House is readily available for a personal, confidential consultation to ensure that every detail aligns with your expectations.
