Established in 1991, Wickliff Auctioneers was quickly recognized as Indiana’s Leading Fine Arts Auctioneers. Having been located in an upscale commercial park in Carmel, Indiana, the company offered a wide range of fine art, antiques, decorative arts and fine jewelry, among other specialty items. This model represented a significant departure from the typical auction house in Indiana; Wickliff’s model was to selectively offer only offer items of high quality and perceived market demand.
In 2020, the decision was further refine the business model, with a concentrated focus on fine art, fine jewelry and special collections, embracing the online-only method of bidding. The move to the new business structure also alleviated the need for a spacious, multi-gallery location, so a new location was secured; a much smaller space closer to the Carmel, IN, city center. While the company had offered online bidding for over a decade (and company president Darin Lawson conducted online auctions beginning as early as 2002), a significant increase in online bidder participation and online sell-through percentage was recognized by the company as an ever-increasing value proposition to clients with specialized items.
