Upcoming & Past Auctions

All Aurora & Athena auctions are held online. The simplest way to take part is to create an account on auroraathena.com: once approved, you can leave a maximum bid on any lot before the sale and bid live in our own auction room, with a buyer's premium of 25% — lower than on third-party platforms. Our sales are also listed on LiveAuctioneers, Invaluable, Drouot or BidSpirit, where the buyer's premium is 30%. See our How to Bid page for the full guide.

Not at the moment — we don't offer telephone bidding. You can bid from anywhere in the world in our own online auction room (create an account on auroraathena.com, 25% buyer's premium), or through LiveAuctioneers, Invaluable, Drouot or BidSpirit (30% buyer's premium).

Yes. Once your account on auroraathena.com is approved, open any lot in the catalogue and leave your maximum bid — we bid for you, step by step, only as far as needed, and you can raise or withdraw it until the lot comes up in the live sale. Your maximum is never shown to other bidders. Absentee bids can also be left on LiveAuctioneers, Invaluable, Drouot or BidSpirit, at their 30% buyer's premium.

Successful bidders will receive an invoice following the auction. Payment and any applicable KYC documentation must be completed within 14 days of the auction.
