Open House (weekly timed sales)

 

 

 

Our much-loved Homes & Interiors sales have received a fresh new look and format! In September 2025, we were delighted to launch Open House – our new series of weekly timed sales. Designed to be more accessible, more frequent, and to once again offer the excitement of viewing items in person before bidding, Open House brings a renewed energy to the Homes & Interiors experience.

Each week, Open House showcases a carefully curated selection of lots in a friendly, easy-to-browse format. Whether you’re looking for distinctive furniture, statement décor, or timeless design pieces, there’s always something new waiting to be discovered.

For vendors, Open House provides a faster, more flexible way to sell. Weekly sales allow consignments to be entered and offered to buyers almost immediately, while public viewings give prospective bidders the chance to see items up close.

Bidding opens at 6pm every Tuesday, with lots beginning to close from 7pm the following Monday. Sales are open for public viewing on Monday, Thursday, and Friday, 10am–3pm.
