Sourcing & Authentication Policy

  • Items featured in our Sourcing Archive are hand-selected based on design aesthetic, period-accurate materials, and structural craftsmanship. Because we act strictly as independent scouts to locate these hidden regional gems quickly for our clients, pieces are not formally authenticated by Sourcing Rooms.

    We provide the direct source details so that you can personally inspect, evaluate, and authenticate the piece to your own standards when coordinating your direct pickup and transaction with the holder. All final negotiations, condition verification, and transport are handled entirely at your discretion.

Curation Fees & Retainer Structure

To maintain our dedicated, high-touch curation standard, we require a $150 initial sourcing retainer per request. This fee covers our exhaustive regional search through private estate liquidations, dealer networks, and exclusive local archives.

• Curation Commission: 15% of the item's final purchase price once located and approved.
• The "Ultimate Find" Clause: If we leverage our local network to secure your design piece completely free of charge from an owner looking to clear space, the 15% commission is waived and replaced by a flat $99 Minimum Curation Fee.

By focusing exclusively on local curation, we completely eliminate unpredictable freight fees, passing the massive equity and savings directly to you.
