Chinese Art & Antiques Auction

In collaboration with our auction house partners, we are proud to introduce our new pilot program, Last Chance by LiveAuctioneers. We work with our auction houses to create a curated sale using unsold exceptional items. This gives our discerning bidders a "last chance" at some of our auction houses' best pieces.Terms and Conditions 1.
