1818 Auctioneers’ Antique Vintage and Later Furniture and Furnishings department holds 24 specialist auctions annually.
These auctions are online and timed, with bidders able to submit bids over the course of 17 days. You’ll find furniture from all centuries in this action. From expertly crafted 1800s Regency and Victorian pieces right through to more modern Art Deco 1900s pieces.
Browse Ecrol tables and chairs, mid century sideboards, modern sofas, garden furniture, antique and vintage pine pieces ready for upcycling. The estimates on some of these items can be as low as £10-20, so it’s an ideal way to take on a project for your own home or for resale.
We pride ourselves on being the original and most interesting way to recycle large items of furniture and furnishings.
Many of our furniture pieces come from house clearances. Please do enquire if that service is of interest.
