This week, our featured auction is the Mid Century Design sale that takes place on Friday 20th August, commencing at 10:30am. That’s tomorrow folks!
Mid century modern is one of our favourite eras for interior design, it was really hard to narrow down the lots we wanted to share. There are so many quality pieces of furniture, art, pottery, glass, lighting and the rest.
Although the auctioneers – W&H Peacock – are based in Bedford, bidding at this sale is entirely online.
Do be aware, on top of the final hammer price there’s a buyer’s premium inc. 17.5%+VAT (plus an additional online commission of 5%+VAT if you bid via thesaleroom.com). Budget wisely if you’re planning on bidding.
