The auction house at Ruhr quickly established itself as an important player in the national and and international auction business. In our business premises in the old town of Mülheim, in direct location to Ruhr and the water station, up to four auctions take place annually. The main focus is on the sale of modern art, old art, design, Antiques as well as jewelry & luxury watches.
