The Estate | 5—9 September

The Estate catalogue is out now and and it is a true celebration of form, function, and storytelling.

Among others, this fortnight’s selection brings together the clean lines of Scandinavian design as well as the playful spirit of New Zealand ceramics. From the sculptural comfort of Jehs & Laub’s Space Chairs to the modular elegance of Soren Liv’s Felix Crest Sofa, the Danish legacy runs deep, even in local craftsmanship.

Ceramic fans will find joy in the whimsical charm of Karen Kennedy’s sculpted dog and the works of Peter Collis, a kiwi master potter who explained his craft simply as: “I make round things”. For those drawn to pop culture, the candelabra from Xena: Warrior Princess offers fantasy from one of New Zealand’s most iconic TV exports.

Whether you're chasing mid-century elegance, contemporary minimalism, or handcrafted charm, this catalogue is a treasure trove of stories waiting to be retold.

Visit us at the showroom now — don’t forget to grab a coffee and pastry from Normanby Fine Wines & Spirits before diving in, and place your highest bids online.

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.

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.

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.
