AI image by LocalRankAuctions in Singapore range from a saleroom with weekly viewing days to Indian and Indonesian houses that run periodic sales here and a platform where dealers bid on used cars. This guide lists seven operators whose own pages show current activity, covering art, jewellery, watches, coins, banknotes, collectibles and vehicles. We describe what each says it handles and how its site explains bidding or consigning. We do not say what any item is worth or whether buying at auction is a good investment, and we state no fees or prices. Read each house's own terms before you bid or consign, and treat the order as a way to browse rather than a ranking.
1. Hotlotz
Hotlotz is a Singapore auction house whose site lists art, furniture, interior decor, jewellery, collectibles, Asian and Peranakan works of art, designer fashion, coins and banknotes, watches, and wine and spirits. Its auctions are timed sales run through an online bidding portal, and a separate marketplace lists items at fixed buy-now prices. The saleroom is in the Bukit Merah area, and the site says most lots can be viewed there without an appointment, apart from fine wine, which is stored elsewhere. Sellers can use services the site describes for private collections, home contents, business sellers and estates. A 2026 footer and a published run of October and November sales show the programme is current. It is the broadest single stop here for mixed categories.

2. Sotheby's
Sotheby's is an international auction house, and we include it because it stages sales in Singapore rather than because it keeps a standing saleroom here. Local event listings and Singapore Art Week coverage describe a Modern and Contemporary Art live auction held in Singapore on 25 January 2026, with works on public view beforehand. Coverage names Southeast Asian modernists among the headline lots. Trade coverage also describes earlier whisky and spirits sales aimed at Southeast Asian bidders. Because its main website did not load for us, the details come from several independent reports, so check its Singapore page for the next sale date, registration steps and viewing times before planning a visit.

3. Larasati Auctioneers
Larasati Auctioneers is a Jakarta-founded house that also lists a Singapore office. Its site says it handles traditional, modern and contemporary art, with a particular interest in modern Indonesian and Southeast Asian works, and it asks for consignments in those areas. The Singapore section of the site gives a local telephone line, and its list of previous auctions includes a Singapore sale dated 19 September 2026, with further October and November 2026 sales announced. The site does not name a venue for that sale, so confirm the location and viewing arrangements through the house before you go. It suits readers looking specifically at Indonesian and regional art rather than general household items or collectibles.

4. AstaGuru
AstaGuru is a Mumbai-founded auction house whose site now lists an AstaGuru Singapore office near Dhoby Ghaut. The site describes departments for modern and contemporary Indian art, jewellery and silverware, timepieces, furniture and decorative arts, textiles and collectables, and its Singapore page says the local team supports acquisitions, consignments, valuations and advisory work for clients across the region, with specialists in art, jewellery and watches. Its home page carries a 2026 copyright and lists a Modern and Contemporary Art sale for late September 2026 plus a collectibles sale in October. Buy and sell sections and a request-an-estimate route are linked from the site. It is the clearest option here for Indian art.

5. Mavin International
Mavin International is a Singapore auctioneer for coins, banknotes and related collectibles. Its site describes world coins, banknotes, vintage postcards and other collectibles, and says it is the official auctioneer for the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which is its own statement. The auction calendar on the site lists sales in April and July 2026, a further Singapore sale on 30 October 2026 and another in January 2027. Its pages explain how to bid, either through the LiveAuctioneers platform or by absentee bid, and how to consign, noting that consignments are accepted throughout the year. The site does not publish a general email or phone number, so use the instructions on its how-to pages and the platform listing to get in touch.

6. Monetarium
Monetarium describes itself as running live and internet auctions of banknotes and coins, plus direct sales through retail channels. Its site says it has catalogued Singapore, Malaysia and Malaya notes and China coins, and that bidding is possible in person, through an online bidding link or through a free mobile app. The business operates from a unit in The Adelphi near City Hall, with opening hours published on its contact page. Its own auction page showed a live sale with floor bidding and e-auction, and trade news from grading companies reported Monetarium auctions in 2026. We could not read a dated 2026 calendar on its own site, so confirm the next sale before travelling. It suits coin and note collectors.

7. Quotz
Quotz is a different kind of auction from the others in this guide. Run by the sgCarMart group, its site describes an online platform where car owners sell their vehicles and registered used-car dealers bid. The steps it lists are to book an appointment, take the car in for an inspection, let dealers bid, then accept or decline the resulting offer, with the site saying there is no obligation to sell. The page lists an inspection service fee and a MacPherson office with published opening hours, and shows a 2026 footer. Because the bidders are dealers rather than the public, it suits people who want to sell a car rather than buy one. Check the current terms on the site.

How to choose
- Match the house to what you own or want. Some sites here focus on art, others on coins and banknotes, and one on used cars. A house that lists your category and shows recent sales in it is easier to deal with than a general one that merely mentions it.
- Read the terms for buyers and sellers before registering. Auction houses publish their own commission and premium structures, and online platforms may add other charges. We state no figures here, so find the current ones on each site and ask for anything unclear in writing before you commit.
- Look at the calendar first. Some houses run frequent timed sales, while others hold a few live sales a year in Singapore, sometimes at hotels. Check that the next sale in your category is dated, where it is held, and whether viewing is open to the public.
- Ask how consigning works if you are selling. Find out how items are assessed, who arranges collection or delivery, how long the process takes, and when payment is made. Treat any estimate as the house's opinion rather than a guarantee, and compare more than one house if you can.
- Be careful with high-value or regulated items. Ask the house how it describes condition and provenance, and what its policy is on returns or disputes. We give no valuation or investment advice, so seek independent professional advice if a purchase or sale is significant for you.
