Bidding Online + Weekday & Saturday Viewing

The Estate | 13—17 June

This fortnight's iteration of The Estate is now open for bidding and our showroom's shelves are full of antique, vintage, mid century and contemporary treasures to be discovered.

Take for instance this Madonna Disco Lite Dynasty ES-555 Boom Box which exudes 1980s urban-underground, retro cool. It was designed in 1986 as a way to bring the nightclub experience to the streets.

If you are more of a fan of interior design, these floor lamps are the perfect way to add some height, softness and comfort into any space: The postmodern Philippe Starck Archimoon Floor Lamp and an equally bold statement piece: Natuzzi Wisdom Floor Lamp with arched body.

Explore the full catalogue online, visit us in person and place your highest bids now for a chance at high-personality and affordable designed goods.

About The Estate Department

The Estate at Webb's presents a diverse range of design treasures. Situated adjacent to our primary gallery in Auckland, this venue offers a unique chance to purchase mid-century furniture, antiques, glassware, ceramics, and art, all available at exceptionally affordable prices.

Established names including Eames, Backhouse and Don sit alongside work by emerging practitioners in a wide ranging offering to excite new and old collectors alike.

While these are online auctions, the space is curated and on view for a week leading up to the auction closing. This provides our bidders with an opportunity to engage with the pieces and speak with our specialist team—who are on hand to assist with any queries.

From the tradition of our original Penrose weekly sales, and those that took place at Manukau Road, The Estate at Webb’s promises the same excitement and superb offerings that captivated our clients and established the brand at the forefront of all things design.

Getting Your New Find to Its New Home—Our Collection Policy 

To ensure a smooth transition for your newly acquired items, we kindly ask that all purchases from our Estate department are paid for and collected within three days of the auction closing. After five days, a storage fee of $5 per item per day will apply.

For your convenience, we are pleased to assist in arranging courier or transport services to help your new treasure reach you promptly and safely. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep our processes efficient and seamless!
