Founded in 1969, John Moran Auctioneers is a trusted, full-service auction house with an international reach. Because we are a family owned and operated company, our clients are afforded the benefits of an approachable and personal touch often lost in today’s marketplace. Our model also makes us more adaptable, allowing us to specifically tailor our services to the needs of each client.

This boutique business model has been proven to yield results; Moran’s regularly sets world auction records, and we are always pushing the envelope when it comes to new and exciting specialty auctions, single-consignor sales, and other specialized services.

Our collective experience, belief in the property we offer, and the high standards to which we hold ourselves ensures our clients will receive the highest level of service.

We offer a wide range of specialty auctions, including California & American Fine Art, Prints & Multiples, 20th Century Art + Design, Fine Jewelry and Timepieces, Traditional Collector, Art of the American West, Turn of the Century Design, and many more.

While well-known for our flagship California & American Fine Art Auctions, Moran’s is also at the forefront of highlighting under-represented artists; our Women in Art and Studio Fine Art Auctions have proven immensely popular and offer works by artists at a wide range of price points, appealing both to the established and emerging collector.

Our state-of-the-art facility in Old Town Monrovia was specifically designed with our clients’ experience in mind, offering an inviting and safe environment in which to display and store your property or host special events. Downtown Monrovia offers a fun and lively atmosphere and provides those who visit us a myriad of shopping and dining options.
