Christopher Bragg

Established in 1995 Christopher Bragg Auctions moved in to its permanent rooms at 619 Canterbury Road 5 years later and soon became the leading auction house in Melbourne's South Eastern suburbs.

Specializing in the sale of estates, our auctions are packed with a large variety of antiques, art, collectables, objects of virtue, tribal artifacts, coins & stamps, books, pre-loved quality household furniture & white goods.

Staffed by experienced members with a long history in antiques, arts and pre-loved treasured items. Their accumulated knowledge spans some decades. However, we recognise that the subject is a very broad one and from time to time this knowledge is supplemented by a team of consultants who are called upon to assist with the rarer and more un-usual.

The core team is:

Christopher Bragg - Partner, Auctioneer, Valuer

Simon Lovett - Manager, Auctioneer

Christopher Bragg Auctions offer a comprehensive and seamless method of selling your items at the best commercial price.

SELLING THE BETTER WAY ------ to dispose of household furniture, antiques, art, collectables and other items of rarity and interest, is to offer them for sale at one of our monthly auctions. To maximise your returns and to make things easier for the seller we offer a complete service entailing:

- for larger consignments we undertake on site visits to develop a strategy that will be the least disruptive with the most profitable outcome.

- each item is individually appraised, sorted and catalogued to favour the best outcome

- during auction viewing times your items are displayed in prominent positions around our sale rooms or in large display cabinets

- auctions are held at the weekends to suit the public, collectors & dealers to achieve the highest attendance and resultant higher prices
