Harringtons Auctions Century Pieces Anew

To some, an auction is simply a commercial event but to discerning buyers, bidders and avid collectors, it is a serious yet an artful business of bidding.




Harringtons Lifestyle Auction understands this sentiment and takes auctions to a whole new level by elevating it into an experience. The upcoming auction of antique furniture and art pieces is no exception. The highly anticipated Harringtons Lifestyle Auction billed as “Treasures of the Century” is set to take place on November 12, 2016, 2 p.m., at the 5 th floor of Century City Mall in Makati City.




The auction features extensive collection of vintage sets of furniture and sophisticated artworks by acclaimed and prolific artists. The extensive collection of excellent, authentic and well-curated collectible pieces include works by national artists Abdul Imao, Napoleon Abueva and Victorio Edades as well as paintings by Benedicto Cabrera, Romulo Olazo and Jorge Pineda.





Highlights of Harringtons’ “Treasures of the Century” auction include over fifty remarkable and prized vintage items owned by avid collector and national hero Jose Rizal descendant Dina Velasco. A vintage “Escritoire” desk in solid tigerwood and teakwood will be among the items that will be auctioned off.  Velasco, who collects precious collectibles as a hobby, knows and understands the beauty of auctions.





Other auction highlights include captivating art wood mosaic pieces by Bagac Wood Mosaic Artists, a group of people from Bagac, Bataan who used to be farmers. Despite dealing with the difficulties of poverty, the group opted to pursue art not only to make a living but also to make a name for their hometown.




Another highlight of the upcoming Harringtons auction is artist Eduardo Castrillo’s intricately designed Crucifix. The 18”x29” delicately sculptured bronze Crucifix depicts the artist’s Christian beliefs and his way of honoring Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. 


For the first time Harringtons will hold an auction at Century City. For details about the auction, contact Cila at +63 917 873 1596/ Dan at +63 998 998 4321/ Mafae at +63 917 512 7251.
