Our much-loved Homes & Interiors sales are getting a fresh new look and format! We’re excited to launch Open House – our brand-new weekly timed sales, starting Tuesday 9 September. Designed to be more accessible, more frequent, and once again welcoming you to enjoy the thrill of viewing items in person before you bid.
Each week, Open House will present a carefully curated selection of lots in a friendly, easy-to-browse format. Whether you’re searching for unique furniture, statement décor, or timeless design pieces, there will always be something new waiting to be discovered.
For vendors, Open House offers a faster, more flexible way to sell. Weekly sales mean consignments can be entered and offered to buyers almost immediately, while public viewings give more people the chance to see your items up close – sparking interest and boosting bidding potential.
Bidding will open at 6pm every Tuesday and close from 7pm the following Monday. Sales will be open for public viewing Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 10am–3pm.
We can’t wait to welcome you to our first Open House sale – whether you’re browsing for your next great find or selling something special, our doors are open. Mark your calendar for Tuesday 9 September and get ready to browse, view, and bid.
