Galway Auction Rooms will host an auction with a difference on Sunday next. The annual Spring sale of antiques, fine art and interiors will be broadcast live to the world via the Internet.
As well as the traditional auction in the Auction Rooms in Kilcolgan, people will be able to bid on the various lots via the internet from any location in the world. The Live Auction concept has been used by auctioneer Aidan Foley in The Auction Rooms in Sixmilebridge, Co Clare with great success.
Items have sold to customers in Australia, Sweden, Mexico, Brazil, North America, Canada and all over Europe. This is believed to be the first
time a live internet general goods auction has been held in the west of Ireland.
The Spring sale of antiques, fine art and interiors will include 750 lots with contents coming from Clients all over the West of Ireland.
The sale includes antique and modern art, antique furniture, interiors, jewellery, silver and silver plate, dining tables, sets of chairs, etc.
