TUES. NOV. 19/19 @ 1:00PM ***LIVE AUCTION OF ORIENTAL ART & FURNITURE STORE-OWNERS RETIRING, APPROX. $500,000++ RETAIL VALUE TO BE SOLD AS ONE LOT WITH A STARTING BID OF $40,000.00

November 19, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

***IF FINAL BID IS LESS THAN $40,000.00 IT WILL HAVE TO BE PRESENTED TO THE OWNER FOR APPROVAL.  IF THE FINAL BID IS $40,000.00++++ WE WILL BE SELLING THE COMPLETE CONTENTS.***

After 28 years in business, and the fact that it is not as easy to import these items to Canada, the owners have decided to retire and have asked us to clear the contents of their oriental art/furniture store and 5,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Mississauga.  The cost of importing these items has increased rapidly in the last few years and are not readily available like it used to be.  Most of these items are handcrafted and the cost of importing to Canada has increased substantially.  The owners must be out of the building by the end of Dec. 2019.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a buyer.  If we were to sell the contents by a live auction, it would take approximately 10 live auctions to sell the contents.

The retail value of the contents is approximately $500,000.00.

Many pieces are handcrafted, we will post a list within the next few days.

Preview is available by appointment from Sun. Nov. 3/19 to Mon. Nov. 18/19.
There will also be a preview on Thurs. Nov. 14 from 6:30PM to 7:30PM.

To ensure your opportunity to bid, please ensure to arrive on time as it is being sold as one lot (all items to be sold at once) to one bidder.

Pictures to be posted throughout the days leading up to the auction.  If interested in view the pictures before then, please email or call us and we can email it to you.  Please check back frequently and refresh your browser for the most up to date information.

The auction will be on Tues. Nov. 19/19 at 1:00 PM.   Preview will also be on the day of the auction at 9:00 AM.

The winning bidder is responsible for the removal of all of the items and will have up to Sun. Dec. 15/19 to remove them, which is about 3 weeks.
