About Us
Lunds Auction & Appraisal Specialists, a cornerstone of Victoria, B.C.'s auction scene, has a rich history rooted in tradition and innovation. Founded by Wilf Lund in 1955 and acquired by the Boyle family in 1971, Lunds Auction & Appraisal Specialists has operated from the same historic location for decades. Over the years, it has transformed into a leading auction house specializing in Fine Art, Antiques, and Collectables.
Unlike typical resellers, Lunds Auction & Appraisal Specialists operates on a consignment-only basis, ensuring that sellers achieve the best possible market value for their items. The company has moved away from general household auctions to focus on Specialty Items with higher intrinsic value, catering to discerning buyers and sellers. Lunds Auction & Appraisal Specialists’ commitment to personalized service, transparency, and integrity has made it a trusted partner for both buyers and sellers, locally and globally.
In the 1990s, Lunds Auction & Appraisal Specialists was the first auction house in North America to embrace the Internet, pioneering reverse search systems to notify collectors of items matching their interests. Today, Lunds Auction & Appraisal Specialists continues to leverage technology, working with platforms like Live Auctioneers to connect with a global audience while preserving the charm and excitement of live bidding. Whether appraising family heirlooms, managing estates, or hosting Specialty Auctions, Lunds Auction & Appraisal Specialists combines decades of experience with an unwavering commitment to excellence​.
