Absentee bids let you place your maximum bid on an item before the live auction begins. During the live show, we’ll continue bidding on your behalf up to your max bid — just like leaving a bid with a traditional auctioneer.
When you place an absentee bid, the system sets the current bid conservatively — just enough to keep you in the lead without revealing your full amount.
The current bid shown on each lot reflects all confirmed absentee bids and updates automatically as new bids come in.
When the live auction starts, bidding will begin at the current bid. The auctioneer will continue bidding on behalf of absentee bidders up to their max bids.
Because absentee bids can arrive seconds apart, the current bid you see may not always include bids still being processed. Refresh the page for the most up-to-date information.

Grouping of 11 antique board-mounted photographs dating to the 1890s. Subjects include a woman posed with a bicycle in a garden setting, a boy standing with a donkey in a snowy yard, a boy seated beside dogs on a porch, a large family group portrait posed before a house with shutters, two women seated on a porch, figures seated along a wooded mountain road, and several views of houses in winter and summer settings.
One photograph is inscribed on the verso "Miss Grace Noyes. Aug. 26, 1895 from the lawn of Myron Warner's house Geo. Davis house up on hill," identifying the subject and location.
The photographs show fading and toning throughout. Mounts exhibit soiling, edge wear, and scattered staining. One mount has a visible crease running through the image.
