Petroliana

Petroliana — enamel advertising signs, petrol pump globes, oil cans and forecourt collectables — sits at the heart of what we do. Our dedicated petroliana sales bring together some of the finest motoring advertising to come to market, catalogued properly and sold in the room, online and by commission bid.

The Automobilia & Petroliana Auction — Saturday 8th November 2025

Our first dedicated petroliana sale, held at the BARC Racing Circuit, Thruxton, was a huge success: almost 300 lots of enamel advertising signs, petrol globes and vintage motoring memorabilia went under the hammer, with strong bidding throughout the day.

From enamel signs and petrol globes to oil cans and forecourt advertising, collectors showed real confidence in quality pieces, with several standout results. Strong online, commission and room bidding pushed prices well beyond expectations and confirmed the depth of demand for well-presented petroliana.

For a first sale in the category, the atmosphere, the engagement and the prices realised exceeded anything we could have hoped for. A big thank you to everyone who consigned, viewed, bid and supported the auction.

Consign to our next petroliana auction

With this level of interest, we are now inviting entries for upcoming sales. If you are thinking of selling — whether it is a single sign or globe, or a full collection built over decades — we would love to hear from you, even if it is just an informal chat about your items. We will happily talk through the best way to sell as we build on this momentum.
