Lots Road
Description
Lots Road Auctions is a far cry from its small and humble beginnings. The earliest venture was set up in 1974, when two former Christie's employees began trading everything from junk to antiques. At the time, Roger Ross, joint founder of the now famous 'Furniture Cave' on the King's Road, Chelsea, became a shareholder. During Christmas 1977, a huge fire destroyed half the roof, and the Auctioneers went out of business in the summer of 1978.
Undeterred, Roger Ross held his first auction in January 1979 and continued with one sale a month with just one full-time employee, Henry, his baby-sitter! Long-standing clients remember that until the premises were repaired after the fire, sales were held in the open air with umbrellas raised.
Since July 2001, the weekly sales have moved from Mondays to Sundays. On average, between 550-600 lots are offered each week in the refurbished 12,000 square foot showroom. Every Sunday, at 1pm there is a Contemporary and Traditional sale followed by, at 4pm, a Selected Antiques Sale that offers a selection of furniture, paintings, carpets, needleworks and works of art.
