The Antique & Interiors Auction at Leonard Joel has opened its doors on a Wednesday for more than 90 years and every time it does that no less than 1000 items from every period, category and region are showcased and then offered for public auction the following day on the Thursday. Well before high street shopping or the pop-up concept was conceived one of the earliest forms of retailing was in fact the auction forum and for several centuries it still retains its allure as a very transparent way to sell and an exhilarating way to buy. So why not make our Wednesday viewing from 9-8pm every week your new decorating habit and enjoy exploring rooms and displays brimming with vintage items, luxury, art and design.
