Founded 17 years before Confederation, Waddington's is honoured to tell the story of Canada through the material culture that comprises our auctions. This year on June 27th we're conducting a special auction in tribute to Canada's sesquicentennial: The Canada 150 Auction.

Waddington’s recent Spring Auction of Important Canadian Art held on May 29th was an exciting evening offering 112 lots of exceptional art. The total hammer price for this auction widely exceeded Waddington’s pre-sale expectation for the event.
