Prospective bidders are welcome to view any lots of interest at our offices in Bolton Street before attending the auction in person. Lots are usually available for viewing up to 2 weeks prior to the day of the auction. Please telephone or email us for an appointment.

No lots are shown at the Washinghton Hotel.

Listen Online and Bid Using Internet Bidding

Our live bidding portal allows you to bid from home live over the internet while a sale is actually taking place in London. The full lot details, including illustrations (where available) are displayed on screen, together with streaming audio so you can hear what is going on in the saleroom. If you are a not an existing DNW client please register before the sale. Existing clients may log in using their regular details. Please call us if you are unsure whether you are registered with us or to check your logging in details; we should be able to confirm your status on our client database quickly and easily. Bidding itself is fast and intuitive, but be aware that there may be a delay of a second or two on the audio stream depending on your internet connection. Please note that there is no surcharge for our live bidding service.

Attend a Dix Noonan Webb Auction

Everyone is welcome to attend a Rostrum Auction.

Dix Noonan Webb auctions are held at The Washington Hotel just a short walk from our offices in Mayfair, London. The Washington Hotel is a distinguished hotel with a history dating back to 1913. Renovation, design touches and modernisation have made this hotel a favourite for the many visitors who call this their business base and home from home.

On arrival at the hotel you will be required to register at the Dix Noonan Webb desk in the auction ante-room. You will be given a bidder number card and, if necessary, a list of saleroom announcements, late amendments to the printed catalogue which the auctioneer will make reference to as the auction progresses. If you are successful in buying a lot you will be required to show your bidder number card to the auctioneer so that he can confirm you as the buyer.

At the conclusion of the auction (or when you have finished bidding, whichever is the sooner), you should return to the office with your bidder number card and make arrangements to pay for and collect your purchases. All payments are to be made in UK pounds sterling. Immediate clearance of purchases may be effected by payments in cash (up to a maximum of £5,000), a banker's draft, credit and debit cards and bank transfers. Personal and company cheques are accepted but buyers not previously known to us are advised that property will not be released until such cheques have cleared.

A discounted room rate is available from the hotel for auction attendees. If you would like to contact the hotel, their details are:
