Andrew Jones Auctions

What Andrew Jones Auctions does

Andrew Jones Auctions is a privately held auction house and appraisal firm founded in 2018 by Andrew Jones and headquartered in a single gallery at 2221 S. Main St. in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District. The firm operates across 15 specialty departments spanning 20th and 21st Century Art and Design, Antiquities, Asian Art, Books and Manuscripts, Carpets and Tapestries, Ceramics/Porcelain/Glass, Decorative Arts and Clocks, Estates and Private Collections, European and American Furniture, Garden Furniture and Statuary, Jewelry and Watches, Natural History, Paintings/Prints/Photographs, and Silver and Objets de Vertu. Recurring sale series include DTLA Collections & Estates, Design for the Home & Garden, and Interiors Art & Collectables (no-reserve), typically featuring 400–490 lots per major event on a bi-weekly to monthly cadence.

The technology platform is hosted by Invaluable, which powers the website, real-time online bidding, and native iOS and Android mobile applications; the site is localized into ten languages. Bidding is multi-channel — in-person at the LA gallery, absentee, telephone (for lots above a $1,000 low estimate), and online via Invaluable, LiveAuctioneers, and AuctionZip (the latter three carry an additional 5% premium). Revenue is generated from a tiered buyer's premium (25% on the first $500,000 of hammer, 18% on $500,001–$2,000,000, 12% above $2,000,000), an all-inclusive seller's commission with no charge on unsold lots, and complimentary appraisal services used to source consignments. Notable consignor wins include the Kirk & Anne Douglas collection sold for the DOUGLAS FOUNDATION, Mitzi Gaynor, Dino and Martha De Laurentiis, Peter Falk, Lady Victoria White, and John Nelson, with headline results such as a Munnings at $500,000 and a Granville Redmond at $237,500 establishing market credibility.
