An analysis of the calendars for the period between August 20 and August 27, 2025, confirms this trend: a silence on the domestic front contrasts with brisk international activity, supported almost entirely by the dynamism of online sales. As for Italian auction houses, entities such as Pandolfini, Farsetti, Il Ponte, Finarte, Wannenes, Cambi, and Bertolami have no events scheduled. Catalogs will populate again starting in the first weeks of September, marking the real restart of the season.
Abroad, however, the market is not standing still and offers several opportunities for enthusiasts. Leading the programming isChristie’s, which starting Wednesday, August 20, launches its online auction Handbags Online: The Hong Kong Edit. The event, which will continue through Sept. 3, is an unmissable opportunity for collectors of luxury handbags and rare accessories from the Asian market.
The scene then shifts to Austria, where on Tuesday, August 26, the historic auction house Dorotheum is dedicating no less than two online sales to 20th-century design and applied arts. The enchantments, titled Jugendstil and 20th Century Arts and Crafts and Jugendstil furniture and 20th Century Arts and Crafts, respectively, will offer a curated selection of furniture and objects that shaped the aesthetics of the early 20th century. Closing out the week on Wednesday, Aug. 27, will be an online appointment at Drouot. Scheduled is the 176nd Auction - Jewelry Part II, Wrist & Pocket Watches, Silver, Coins, Glass And Crystal, an event that will attract collectors of jewelry, precious watches, silverware and numismatics.
