Buying at auction
Buying at an auction is a great way to expand your collection or to discover unique pieces for your home. We offer all sorts of objects in every price range.
During our various auctions, we sell approximately 20.000 lots every year. This ranges from furniture, art, design and jewellery to specific collections in every field. The auctions consist of: Art & Antiques, Design, General, Jewellery & Watches, Collectables and Real Estate.
We want to notify you that we are bound to international and European legislation concerning goods incorporating materials from endangered and protected species. Read here how this might concern you.
