salerooms
Where auctions happen
Salerooms are spaces where goods are displayed and sold, especially at auction.
The term is primarily British, equivalent to American "salesrooms." An antiques dealer might spend weekends browsing the salerooms looking for undervalued pieces.
The word often appears in contexts of art and estate sales: Christie's salerooms were packed for the auction.
