antique auction
Old goods bidding
An antique auction is a sale where old or collectible items are sold to the highest bidder.
These events feature furniture, art, jewelry, and decorative objects typically over a hundred years old.
Auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's handle prestigious pieces, while estate sales and regional auctions offer more accessible hunting grounds: We found that dresser at an antique auction in Vermont.
