The Pedestal | Specialist auctions in premium locations

The Pedestal is delighted to announce that the Shop is now open for business. This online selling initiative compliments our regular calendar of auctions and features a wide range of furniture, objects, silver and lighting dating from the 16th century through to the mid-20th century. We are excited to launch The Pedestal’ Shop - you can now peruse and purchase from a diverse and interesting group of items online at any time, and consignors will be able to offer their property throughout the year. The Shop extends and enriches the services available to our customers. Items in the Shop are offered with multiple images, allowing items to be viewed in full detail and from every angle alongside additional information such as makers biographical details and provenance. Each piece has its own tear sheet, including the work’s key characteristics, descriptive text and an image. The tear sheet will help collectors and decorators alike review pieces of interest and compare similar objects side by side. We hope you enjoy visiting The Pedestal shop and find it a useful source for buying across a range of different areas.

At The Pedestal, the health and wellbeing of our customers, employees and service providers are of paramount importance to us and we have been monitoring events on a daily basis. We have made the decision in light of UK Government guidance regarding Covid-19 to close our London office in Prince’s Gate as of today. Our Oxfordshire warehouse is open by appointment although this remains subject to review.

We have also made the decision to postpone the 29th April Fine Interiors Auction. We will keep all our clients updated as to the revised auction date but we felt that this was a sensible precaution during this uncertainty. The sale includes an interesting collection of furniture from Hotham Hall in Yorkshire focused on the 17th century as well as English and Continental furniture and objects from the 17th to 20th centuries, we will share highlights from this forthcoming auction with you on social media channels in the coming weeks - so please keep in touch on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

You can of course continue to visit our virtual store at ThePedestal.com where furniture, objects and Luxury Design are available to purchase at a fixed price. This service will continue to run and we will endeavour to arrange deliveries to our international clients where possible but will be happy to store purchases until transport is easier to arrange.

The Pedestal team continue to work from various locations and are happy to help with any enquiries over this period - don’t hesitate to get in touch. We hope you and your families stay safe at this difficult time and we hope to open our doors to you again soon and share more exciting news of developments at The Pedestal.
