About us


History

Antique Auctions was founded in July 1975 by Ms Sally Church. Ms Church was the first professional licensed auctioneer in East Africa especially with regards to her being a specialist in antique and rare pieces of collectables. She once sat on the body that regulates Auctioneers in Kenya on its inception as the Secretary.

Antique Auctions Limited started selling through auctioning property that is not necessarily an antique or collectable on a “willing buyer” basis dubbed the Home maker’s auction. The founder, Ms Church, sold the firm to Mr. John S. Lee who is a collector of antiques and has been a faithful purchaser through the auctions carried out by Antique Auctions since its inception in 1975 and in the United Kingdom as well.

The firm has seen a tremendous amount of growth and strength from its infancy stage when it only had three permanent employees. The firm is currently a complete, mature and stable establishment that boasts of being the most transparent Auction House in Kenya to date.
