recommended keywords: breuer, bauhaus, chrome, brazilian, mid century, mcm, sonneman, colombo, laurel, barbaglia, corbusier, cassina, tobia scarpa, mies van der rohe, MR, knoll, barcelona / view on TikTok here

As an addition to this week’s curation of auction and estate sale links, I thought I’d bring one of my high-performing series on TikTok to Substack!

If this is your interiors vibe, search this when sourcing vintage or secondhand online….

It’s too long for email to break these up individually as I did in my video content on IG and TT, but I can definitely go deeper in future posts if this is something you all find interesting! These are some of my favorite keywords to use when sourcing vintage homewares and furniture:

recommended keywords: space age, verner panton, eero saarinen, de sede, maralunga, cassina, italian, castiglioni, ettore sotsass, japanese, rice paper, noguchi, art deco, 1920s, chinese rugs / view on TikTok here

And now for this week’s auction and estate sale links! Whether you’re looking to make a quick buck via flipping, you’re sourcing for your own home, or you’re a designer - I have some steals for you.

If you’re new, you can find my tips for bidding here.

Make sure you are mindful of buyer’s premiums when bidding - this is an additional fee on top of what you bid if you win the auction. It’s often 20 - 30%.

I aim to source a variety of vintage styles every week - but let me know any specific requests!

These links are from the Northeast and Los Angeles-area — but if you aren’t local, you could schedule a Uship delivery. I usually list on their site and wait for delivery bids. Make sure you read the reviews!
