LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 20, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Andrew Jones Auctions has two major events planned for December – just in time for the holidays. A Design for the Home and Garden auction will be held on Sunday, December 6th, followed by a Home for the Holidays Sale just two days later, on Tuesday, December 8th.

“We have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to handle a number of important collections this year and achieve remarkable prices,” said company president and CEO Andrew Jones. “I am proud to end the year as strongly as we began, with fantastic property from private collections in our Design for the Home and Garden auction.”
