Maynards has been handling fine art, antiques, and rare finds of all kinds for more than 100 years. Our mission is to engage both emerging and established collectors, making artworks of diverse background, style, and price point accessible through both on-site and online venues.
Founded in 1902, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Maynards is a traditional fine art and antiques auction house that has sold many of the great estates of the province. We relocated the company headquarters to Vancouver in 1956, and over the course of the next half-century established permanent offices around the globe.
