Auction: Homes and Interiors - Live Online, 16th Sep, 2020

This month’s Homes and Interiors Auction encompasses the beauty of buying luxury and antique furnishings at affordable prices. The wide variety of items on sale this September range from 19th Century clocks to life-sized Burmese puppets, Victorian lead tobacco boxes to contemporary bronze sculpture. These sales showcase an array of different periods and styles all under one roof, juxtaposing old with new, items rich in history displayed next to works of art by emerging artists, and emphasising just how effortlessly they complement one another. We believe there is undoubtedly something to suit all tastes and budgets in our forthcoming sale.

Sorry, we cannot calculate a pre-sale automated shipping cost due to the items weight/size.

Should you be successful in buying this item, a specific shipping estimate can be requested after the sale by using the link in your invoice email; this also includes requests for international delivery.

If you would like further information about shipping and collection please see here.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!

Sworders is proud to be supporting the work of Antiques are Green - the movement that was founded in 2009 to promote “a greener future created from the past”. Read their fascinating carbon footprint study of a Georgian chest of drawers versus a modern equivalent here
