From Lalique to Labubu: The Estate's final sale of 2025 is made up of collectable objects that reflect enduring craftsmanship, design lineage, and the timeless appeal of masterfully selected materials; making them perfect for Christmas gifts and homes that value uniqueness and durability.
This curated selection spans mid-century icons, Italian, modern and vintage design, Japanese craft, and treasured New Zealand makers and artists.
Highlights include a John Crichton lamp, a Danish beech and leather sofa, Philippe Starck Pratfall chairs, an extremely rare Briar Gardner vase, an Aldo Nason brass and glass lamp, a Bitossi Sahara Toro, and much more.
Seasonal magic threads through the catalogue in a lighthearted sprinkle of Christmas pieces, from matryoshka dolls and twin Rudolph tea sets to Hadeland glass ornaments, a rare finely cast, iron Christmas-tree base c.1890s and a centrepiece for nostalgic holiday table settings.
Explore the catalogue online or visit our showroom—with a sophisticated re-fuelling stop at Normanby—to experience these treasures in person.

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.
