Additional Information
The website’s main sections include Home, Upcoming Auctions, Featured Items, About our Auctions, and Contact Us, allowing visitors to review scheduled sales and featured inventory. Because auction dates and featured lots change over time, prospective bidders are directed to the Upcoming Auctions section for current listings, and the Featured Items section highlights individual pieces currently available.

Reserved seating at live auctions is available to buyers who call ahead.
The site combines a retail antiques business with a recurring auction operation, so customers can either shop the in-store inventory of antiques and new furniture or participate in the monthly Sunday auctions, both in person and online. Sellers are accommodated through the consignment process, which begins by submitting photographs of items for consideration, and through estate liquidation services with pickups handled daily. Prospective buyers, consignors, and estate clients are encouraged to contact the business by phone or email for current scheduling, since the storefront keeps appointment-based hours rather than fixed daily hours.
