Holiday Antique Auctions Heat Up Across Regions
Antiques auction hero banner

As the year draws to a close, a flurry of antique auctions is winding down, each with its own deadline. The earliest close dates fall on December 10, when the Bristol & Bath auction house wraps up a timed sale featuring a broad mix of antique furniture, ceramics, glassware and vintage toys. That same day, a Polish auction in Warsaw concludes its December sale, offering similar categories of antique household objects and decorative pieces. The following day, Bodnar's auction in the United States ends, spotlighting antique furniture and decorative ceramics from the early 20th century.

By mid‑December, Zeeuws Veilinghuis in the Netherlands finishes an online auction that runs from December 8 to 15, presenting a varied selection of antique wooden furniture, porcelain, and period toys sourced from estate consignments. Shortly after, Stacey's Auctioneers in the United Kingdom closes its December 15‑17 antique and interior sale, highlighting restored period wardrobes, vintage lighting fixtures and rare ceramic tableware. The momentum continues with Midway Auction House in Maryland, whose timed auction ends on December 18 after a preview weekend; bidders can expect antique metalwork, early‑century furniture and assorted decorative objects.

Charterhouse Auctioneers in England follows on December 19 with a dedicated antique auction that showcases Georgian chairs, Victorian sideboards and a range of historic glass items. The final notable deadline arrives at the end of the month when Amoskeag Auction Company in New Hampshire concludes its two‑day Auction No. 149 on December 29‑30, featuring a curated collection of antique firearms, historic military gear and related period accessories.

Across these events, several trends emerge: sellers are increasingly turning to online platforms for broader reach, many auctions are timed to capture holiday‑season interest, and the inventory leans heavily toward functional antique pieces—furniture, ceramics, glassware and toys—rather than decorative art objects. Regional diversity is evident, with offerings spanning the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Poland, underscoring a robust market for well‑preserved antique household items as buyers seek unique pieces for both collection and seasonal gifting.
