Our Company

THE ANTIQUES AUCTIONS business model is geared towards a universal customer pool that has the taste and the desire to acquire good quality furnishings, jewelry and antiques in general with a guarantee of authenticity but has little time to shop around. Also our customers who live in rural areas or places removed from city centers would benefit from a selection of antiques available from a website that guarantees authenticity, from the comfort of their home.

Our team has a broad international expertise in the antiques market as well as in the field of communications. Our efforts are dedicated to build the first online antiques auctions and sales in South America. It works as a normal bricks and mortar auction house and a seller of outstanding pieces in our PREMIUM section. It is adjusted to the demands and expectations of those who operate normally through the Internet.

THE ANTIQUES AUCTIONS represents directly the sellers, and offers in their sales only those lots especially selected as suitable for sale because of their superior quality, desirability, their good condition and authenticity. The authenticity of each lot we offer is guaranteed to be in accordance to the catalogue description.



THE ANTIQUES AUCTIONS aims to offer the best quality in the product offered and in the services rendered. We strive to serve an audience of traditional antique buyers, collectors, and young people with a flair for the unique and special.
