Anatomy of an auction

On a Saturday afternoon, a cross section of people—old gentlemen with glasses of wine in hand, Titas of Manila exchanging the latest news, housewives trying to keep their children under control (and failing) and a few young people simply browsing around—gathered inside the auction room at the back of the Harringtons Lifestyle Auction.

Four years after its inception, Harringtons Lifestyle Auction has established itself as one of the country’s trusted auction houses in the country, and has become one of the best-kept secrets in the South, offering unique pieces of furniture, pre-loved furnishings, one-of-a-kind-collectibles, vintage items, artworks by masters and National Artists, among others.
