    Uppsala Auktionskammare

    Uppsala Auction Chamber

    Founded in 1731, it is one of the oldest auction chambers in the world. Items include furniture and antiques from the 17th century and onwards, Asian objects, jewellery and fine arts from both old masters, and contemporary artists. Auctions are held about once every month and is divided into three categories. The most valuable goods are sold during "important sales" weeks in early June and early December every year. Smaller "decorative sales" auctions are held about six times a year. "Special auctions" are organised on occasions when the chamber is entrusted some comprehensive prestigious collection.

    Prices of "Important Sales" range from 10,000 kr to 10,000,000 kr, while prices during decorative sales vary from 2,000 kr to 30,000 kr. Viewings of the objects are organised before every auction and are always free and open to the public
