Bolstered by considerable growth in recent years, Brunk Auctions’ decision to expand operations was a logical step in its business growth strategy and a natural extension of its existing services. “We have a long history of representing Virginia collectors, estates, and museums and many of our clients are located within close reach of Richmond. The Richmond venue will allow us to better serve our existing Virginia clients and connect with new ones.” remarked Brunk Auctions President, Andrew Brunk.

Brunk Auctions has achieved record-setting sales in categories such as Asian Art, Fine Art, Jewelry, Silver, and Maps. Recent highlights include the sale of a very rare Bishop James Madison Map of Virginia (1749-1812), which sold for US $252,000, and an important Cartier Platinum and Diamond Bracelet which sold for US $204,000. Brunk Auctions is delighted now to invite consignments in these and all categories of art and objects for upcoming sale seasons.
