About

Direct Auction Galleries is one of Chicago’s leading antique and estate auction houses. Every few weeks we bring hundreds of lots to the block at our gallery on North Western Avenue: antique and mid-century furniture, fine paintings and prints, sculpture, jewelry and watches, clocks, art glass and crystal, porcelain, Oriental rugs, Chinese antiques and collectibles of every kind.

Our sales are live and online at the same time, so you can bid in the room, leave an absentee bid, or bid from anywhere in the world. Each lot is photographed and described in detail, and previews are held before every sale so you can examine pieces in person.

Selling? We accept consignments from estates, collections, downsizing households and dealers, and we handle everything from appraisal and cataloguing to marketing and settlement. Contact us for a confidential conversation about what you have.
