The House
Situated at one of British Columbia’s signature wineries in the Lower Mainland, Clarendon James elegantly combines Canadian art and exquisite objects, enveloped within the enchanting ambiance of a vineyard.
The house was founded on a simple idea: every object worth selling is worth selling well. We conduct carefully curated auctions for private consignors, estates, and institutions, guided by meticulous cataloguing, honest estimates, and discretion.
Come for the art.
Stay for the experience.
