AUCTIONS IN AUGUST
At the time of writing, auctions were mostly online only, with absentee, live internet or telephone bidding. Some sales could be attended and had social distancing measures in place. Lots could be viewed via online catalogues or remotely with virtual auction tours, and specialists were available to discuss items. Some auction houses offered viewings by appointment, while all had arrangements for collections and storage. As restrictions continue to lift, do check with auction houses for any updates on sales and for details about when you may be able to bid in person.
