When consigning a piece of furniture, it’s important to consider a few factors:
Each month, our auctions feature a variety of antique, vintage, and period furniture, including hall tables, desks, credenzas, console tables, chairs, occasional furniture, and mirrors. These smaller yet significant pieces bring elegance and character to any space.
In our view, furniture is a unique form of art. The makers express their creativity and style through the craftsmanship of each piece, while the owners reflect their personality by incorporating it into their homes. The dual role of furniture as both an artistic and functional item gives it a special place in our lives. With a stunning selection of fine furniture, O’Reilly’s Auctions is the ideal destination for those interested in buying or selling antique, vintage, and period furniture.
Join us to discover exceptional pieces with unmatched history and charm.
The growing appeal for collectors and enthusiasts who buy antique furniture at auction lies in finding pieces that combine fine craftsmanship with a rich history. Unlike retail options, auctions provide access to one-of-a-kind pieces, from Georgian cabinets to Victorian dining sets, often at competitive prices.
Accessibility is a significant factor. Our auctions attract a wide audience with options to suit most budgets, while the excitement of the bidding process adds to the experience. And evaluations by our specialists guarantee confidence and authenticity with every piece purchased at auction.
What makes our antique furniture auctions special is the sheer variety of items on offer. We feature elegant Georgian hall tables, intricately carved Victorian desks, and charming Art Deco chairs.
Smaller occasional pieces like mirrors, side tables, and credenzas are also popular, perfect for adding character to modern interiors.
Additionally, many pieces are often linked to historical estates or notable makers which further adds to the appeal.
