About
Welcome to Town & Sea!
Town & Sea is a boutique online auction and consignment marketplace showcasing a curated selection of well-loved treasures for the home. We blend the quality and uniqueness of a local estate sale with the convenience and ease of a full-service online shopping experience. From furnishings and artwork to decorative accessories, our collection features mostly vintage and antique pieces, with the occasional modern twist. Every item undergoes a meticulous curation process — personally inspected to ensure it brings character and charm to its next home.
Full-Service Platform
Our full-service platform handles every aspect of the selling process—from listing and marketing to coordinating buyer pickup—creating a seamless, personalized experience from start to finish. Whether through consignment or auction, sellers can easily part with items they no longer need, while buyers enjoy access to distinctive pieces that bring character and charm to their homes.
What's in a Name?
Town & Sea is all about blending styles — from classic townhouses to coastal cottages and country homes. Founded in 2020 and based in Connecticut, we curate unique pieces from across the Tri-State area with a focus on timeless design and character.
Curation Process
Our curation team is made up of design-savvy women who share our customers’ taste and passion for the hunt. With a sharp eye for style and a deep understanding of what resonates with our audience, they thoughtfully select each piece. Thanks to their discerning approach, our customers can effortlessly discover rare finds—without the endless scrolling.
Boutique Approach
At Town & Sea, we offer a boutique, relationship-driven experience rooted in trust and care. We take pride in supporting our clients through a highly personalized approach. As stewards of cherished items, we understand the sentiment behind each piece and handle every step with sensitivity and transparency. It brings us true joy to extend the life of well-loved pieces by placing them in the hands of new customers who will appreciate them just as much!
Marketing Strategy
Our Instagram presence distinguishes us in the online auction and consignment space. Our design inspiration posts not only give our bidders styling ideas and a vision of how a piece might work in their home, they also provide an unparalleled level of marketing for our sellers.
Our vibrant and active community of followers, which includes bidders, sellers, and designers, has responded with tremendous enthusiasm, reposting our upcoming sales and sharing their Town & Sea wins.
