Following that, on December 29, Auctioneum offers a sale of 20th‑century and contemporary visual pieces, catering to collectors who seek modern design narratives.

December 30 sees a flurry of live events.

In the same slot, Auctioneers of Bristol & Bath host a live auction of mid‑century and interior‑design items, complemented by timed sales of Tolkien books and other literary treasures, illustrating the blend of design and literary interests.

Looking ahead, 2026 promises further activity.

These upcoming sales signal a continued diversification of offerings, with auction houses expanding into both online‑only formats and live‑streamed experiences to attract a broader collector base.
