Newel Auctions is the newest evolution of a legacy that began in 1939, when founder Meyer Newman launched Newel to furnish Broadway’s most iconic productions. From a modest start with 20 antiques on display, Newel grew into the world’s foremost destination for decorative arts, antiques, and design—recognized by Architectural Digest, The New York Times, and Elle Decor for its vast, expertly curated inventory.

​

Today, under fourth-generation CEO Jake Baer, Newel continues to set the standard for quality and connoisseurship, with locations in New York and South Florida, and over 130,000 square feet of warehousing.

​

Newel Auctions extends this legacy into the auction world, offering exceptional antiques, fine art, fashion, and collectibles through curated sales that blend historical gravitas with modern accessibility. From Biedermeier cabinets and mid-century icons to rare estate jewelry and memorabilia, each lot is selected with the same rigor that defines our gallery collection.

​

What sets Newel Auctions apart is our unique vantage point: as longtime stewards of one of the world’s largest decorative arts collections, we bring unmatched expertise, global reach, and decades of industry relationships to every sale. Our auction model is built around transparency, convenience, and trust—with no upfront seller fees, free storage, expert cataloging, and personalized service for buyers and consignors alike.
