While eBay is of course the mother of all auction platforms, there is something adrenaline-pumping about doing the bidding in person, not to mention being able to view the physical product before you buy it.
Criterion Auctioneers have brick and mortar stores in Islington and Kensington, dealing in fabulous antique furniture, art and other collectors' items. Best of all, items go for a fraction of the price of most other auction houses. As an example we recently spied a very ornate, 19th century French giltwood mirror that sold for just £130.
