I.M. CHAIT GALLERY FAST BECOMING ONE OF THE WORLD LEADERS IN ART AND ANTIQUES

View Sale

October 12, 2005, Beverly Hills, CA: The I.M. Chait Gallery/Auctioneers in Beverly Hills is fast becoming one of the leading and most well-respected auction houses in the country. The Gallery is known for carrying only the rarest, high-quality pieces available for public auction, and has a long-established reputation for having one of the most comprehensive collections of Asian fine art and antiques in the country. The Gallery maintains valued relationships with art dealers, collectors, customers, and visitors from over 38 countries, including: Japan, China, Spain, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada and Australia. An unmistakable portal to this large customer base may be attributed to the internet, with over 12 million visitors to the I.M. Chait Gallery website in the past eight months alone.

The Gallery holds monthly Estate auctions, as well as quarterly International Fine Arts Auctions where collectors can bid on some of the most exquisite artifacts of traditional and antique fine art from the around the world. The Gallery also hosts a bi-annual Natural History Auction, which offers bidders the unique opportunity to own fossils, mineral samples, and other prehistoric artifacts not normally made available to the public.

In fact, a recent Natural History Auction has landed the Gallery in the record books for earning the second-highest price ever paid for a fossil at an auction: $282,000.00 for an extremely rare Saber-Toothed tiger skull unearthed from the La Brea Formation.

The Gallery also hosts benefits, estate auctions, and celebrity auctions. I.M. Chait Gallery/Auctioneers offers in-room, absentee, phone, and live on-line bidding for all of our auctions. We are located at 9330 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, and our doors are open to visitors Monday through Friday, 11 AM- 5 PM.
