Saffronart said a thorough screening of clients would be conducted. It will be a 36-hour auction and clients’ privacy would be guarded. “Since the valuations are high, we will take an earnest deposit from bidders,” Nish Bhutani, chief operating officer, said. He said auctions tend to fetch a good price.
