Today’s auction alert is the upcoming Fine Auction sale being held by Lots Road Auctions who are based in London. There will be 552 lots of vintage art, furniture, lighting and miscellaneous collectables. It takes place early next year, on Sunday 8th January 2023 from 11am.
We’ve chosen a few of the weird, wild & wacky – what would be referred to as ‘decorator pieces’ that Lots Road has for sale in this auction. Fibreglass unicorn bench anyone? How about a framed taxidermy lobster? A life-sized mosaic figure of Baby Jesus and Mary? If you’re into quirky conversation starters, this is the auction for you!
A buyer’s premium of 22% + VAT (26.4% inc. VAT) will be levied on all winning lots. Leave bids or bid live online via the Lots Road website – there’s an added 3% + VAT [3.6% inc. VAT] surcharge for this service). Alternatively, use EasyLiveAuction or The Saleroom (additional fees apply on both sites).
The auction house doesn’t provide a postage and packing service themselves, however, they do offer quite a few recommendations for both national and international shipping.
