2026 Spring Auction Preview: Sotheby’s and Christie’s

As January ends, the eyes of the luxury world turn toward the upcoming Spring auction season in New York. The major houses—Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and Phillips—are curating catalogs that will set the tone for the rest of 2026.

What We Expect to See

  • Estate Jewelry: We anticipate significant estate collections coming to market, particularly focusing on Art Deco pieces which have seen a resurgence in popularity.
  • Single-Owner Watch Collections: Following the trend of recent years, “single-owner” sales often generate the highest premiums due to clear provenance.

Liquidity for Acquisitions

For collectors looking to bid in these upcoming auctions, liquidity is essential. New York Loan Company often works with clients who wish to unlock capital from their existing collection to fund new acquisitions at auction. By securing a bridge loan now, you can have your paddle ready when the hammer falls this spring.
