LAST DAY FOR ENTRIES: Friday, 2 October

We are now inviting entries for the second edition of The Age of Design, following the popularity and strong results achieved in our inaugural sale.

This specialist auction celebrates the defining design movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from the craftsmanship of Arts & Crafts and the flowing forms of Art Nouveau to the bold elegance of Art Deco.

We are seeking fine examples of furniture, lighting, glass, ceramics, metalwork and decorative objects by makers such as Liberty & Co., Morris & Co., Shapland & Petter, Archibald Knox and C.F.A. Voysey, alongside works by Daum, Gallé, Lalique, Loetz, WMF, Susie Cooper, Heal’s, Epstein, Hille and other leading names of the period.

From handcrafted oak furniture and repoussé copper to Art Nouveau glass, Art Deco lighting and stylish period furnishings, this curated sale will once again explore beauty, innovation, form and function.

If you have quality pieces from these important design periods, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Just fill out the quick form below to start the process and one of the team will be in touch. You can also reach out directly by phone or email at mail@dugglebys.com | 01723 507111. Our experts are here to provide free valuations and sales advice, with no obligation to sell.
