A multi-million-pound collection of bespoke British luxury furnishings and décor is set to be auctioned off during an unparalleled secondary-market event. Pro Auction, a leading specialist in luxury hotel asset sales, has been appointed to oversee the unreserved sale of the entire contents from the landmark Wellington Block scheme, originally curated for The Other House in Covent Garden.
The materials, custom-commissioned for the five-star “Residents’ Club” at 25–31 Wellington Street, were intended for a hotel that was on the brink of opening in July 2026 when ownership transitioned to Aendre Group, leading to the decision to pursue a new design vision.
“This is a once-in-a-generation occurrence: the public dispersal of 149 keys’ worth of furniture, bespoke case goods, designer headboards, architectural lighting, restaurant collections, sculptures, and decorative interior pieces—each in 100% mint, virgin condition,” said a representative from Pro Auction. “You simply do not see sales like this in London—or anywhere in Europe.”
The auction offers a unique chance for those in the hospitality and design industries to acquire brand-new stock directly from manufacturers without the usual wait times associated with high-quality furnishings. All items are in original packaging and remain untouched, including luxurious guestroom and public space furnishings.
Items up for bid include bespoke upholstered headboards, stylish dining tables, unique sculptures, and breathtaking chandeliers, all curated under the expertise of Bergman Design House, a noted interior architecture studio. The collection combines modern British aesthetics with the stringent standards of five-star accommodations, delivering on both design and functionality.
“This dispersal lets buyers bypass manufacturing backlogs and acquire complete, 5-star cohesive sets—from statement restaurant dining tables and sculptures to turnkey guestroom case goods and headboards—at a fraction of their multi-million-pound procurement cost,” commented the auction team.
The auction is set to be conducted through a live and online webcast, allowing global bidders to participate. Pre-sale viewing and digital walkthroughs will be available by appointment prior to the auction event, marking a historic opportunity for developers, operators, and design professionals to access luxury hotel furnishings like never before.
