Small & Whitfield

About Us

The Small & Whitfield Brand.

Established in 1982, Small and Whitfield Auctions & Valuations have been offering our clientele professional auctions and valuations in South Australia for over 38 years with uncompromising service.

Small and Whitfield quickly became a recognised and successful weekly auction house in South Australia with a strong emphasis on quality.

Demographically situated in the heartland of the Unley area on the outskirts of the city of Adelaide, the auction house attracted many prominent local residents looking for high quality objets d’art for their collections and fine antique furniture for the grand Victorian homes that line the streets in this region.

“Adelaide is a unique city with an interesting history’’ says David Kabbani, managing director of Small and Whitfield. “In its early beginnings, many prominent, historical and influential families settled in Adelaide. Historic towns were later built and with it came a constant source of exotic and rare art, antiques and collectables, many of international quality.

“Adelaide has long been a must-go-to destination for lovers of Antiques & Fine Art, and still is.”

Small and Whitfield Auctions specialises in traditional and contemporary auctions of fine art, collectables, fine jewellery and antique furniture with regular weekly auctions and specialty single vendor collections.

Our company now boasts one of the most experienced and knowledgeable team of specialists across all fields of art. Directors, David Kabbani and Peter Almond collectively have over 50 years of experience in the vast world of antiques and collectables.
