Andrew Jones Auctions is a full-service fine art and antiques auction house in downtown Los Angeles, founded in 2018 by auctioneer Andrew Jones, selling property that spans the 16th through the 21st centuries.
The house launched in the summer of 2018. Its founder had spent the previous sixteen years as Director of Furniture and Decorative Arts for Bonhams in North America, where he restarted the firm's Los Angeles department in 2004, three years after its closure. He staffed the new venture with specialists drawn from major international auction houses in America and Europe, and the company positions itself as downtown Los Angeles' only full-service fine art and antiques auction house — a claim it makes in its own marketing rather than one established by an independent authority.
Sales are deliberately eclectic. Catalogues mix furniture, Asian works of art, jewelry and watches, decorative arts and ceramics, silver and objects of vertu, and paintings and prints, with lots ranging from Greek and Roman antiquities through modern and contemporary work, at estimates from entry-level to major consignment. The gallery occupies roughly 37,000 square feet at 2221 S. Main Street, and bidding runs both in the room and through the major online aggregators, which puts the house within reach of buyers well outside Southern California.
I was introduced to Andrew Jones Auctions by 📝Andrei Molchanov when he was telling me how he and 📝Daniela Luzi Tudor furnished their new home with so many epic furniture finds.
