Sell 20th Century & Modern Furniture at Auction
Our 20th Century & Modern Furnishings department is renowned for its expertise in evaluating, consigning, and auctioning an extensive array of furniture from the 20th century to modern times. Our team holds a specialised knowledge in the nuances of modern design movements, offering precise valuations and strategic marketing to connect each piece with the ideal buyer, thus ensuring optimal returns for our consignors.
We offer a bespoke service tailored to vendors wishing to sell individual items, large collections, or entire estates. We cover a broad spectrum of modern design, from the groundbreaking simplicity of Bauhaus to the organic warmth of Scandinavian design and the bold, eclectic flair of postmodern pieces.
Mid-century modern furniture, celebrated for its innovation and timeless appeal, regularly forms a significant part of our collection. This period, which peaked from the mid-1940s to the late 1960s, introduced some of the most iconic designs in furniture history. At Dugglebys, we frequently auction pieces such as the sleek and functional Ercol tables and chairs, renowned for their craftsmanship and design; G Plan furniture, embodying the era's ethos of beauty, functionality, and affordability; and Parker Knoll armchairs and sofas, offering classic comfort with enduring style.
Our consignment process is designed to be transparent and supportive, guiding vendors from valuation through to auction and final settlement. Utilising a mix of traditional and digital marketing strategies, we ensure each piece receives maximum visibility among a global network of collectors, interior designers, and design enthusiasts.
Our specialist understanding of the dynamic market for modern furnishings positions us as the preferred choice for consignors and buyers alike, looking to capture the essence, history, and significance of modern design.
