Antiques auction hero banner

The fall auction calendar is buzzing with timed online events that spotlight a wide range of antique treasures. The earliest deadline arrives on October 28, when Columbia Auction wraps up its City Products Online Auction, offering everything from period furniture to vintage lamps and classic kitchenware. That same day, Locke & England concludes a timed online sale featuring high‑quality antique furniture, decorative pieces and functional items such as wrought‑iron tools and brass clocks.

Moving into November, Abbingdon Auctions Australia hosts an online sale on November 9 that centers on antique dolls and toys. Highlights include rare Tete Jumeau figures, a Marseille Art Character, and a beautifully preserved Eden Bebe, alongside vintage Steiff teddy bears and a curated selection of classic playthings.

Stacey's Auctioneers follows with a two‑day Antiques Sale ending on November 12, presenting a curated mix of antique furniture, period lamps, and historic kitchen implements. The catalogue also features antique clocks and early‑era metalwork, appealing to collectors who favor functional heritage pieces.

A‑1 Auction in Orlando adds to the momentum with its November 16 online and live event, showcasing estate‑level antiques ranging from mid‑century furniture to original antique lighting fixtures and handcrafted wooden tools. Bidders can preview the lots online before the closing date.

The following day, November 17, Stacey's runs a Toy & Model Sale that highlights antique toys, model trains and vintage board games, many of which have been preserved in original packaging and represent a nostalgic slice of 20th‑century play culture.

Finally, the season caps with Shouler Auctions’ December 18 sale, which opens for viewing on December 16 and offers a broad selection of antique furniture, period lighting, and a variety of restored tools and hardware. Across these events, a clear trend emerges: sellers and consignors are emphasizing functional antiques—dolls, furniture, lamps, clocks and tools—while buyers are drawn to the authenticity and craftsmanship of pieces that have stood the test of time. The staggered end dates give collectors multiple opportunities to secure coveted antiques throughout the fall and early winter months.
