The auction house Eppli was founded in 1978 and is now run in the second generation by Ferdinand and Katharina Eppli. Located in downtown Stuttgart, the auction house is the family company’s beating heart. The experts’ daily task: determine whether customers’ items are trash or treasure. Regular “expert days” attract people with suitcases full of valuables to be appraised.

What makes it special: not only luxury goods and rare collectibles are auctioned, but also unique items like a handwritten letter from the Queen or an entire collection of football jerseys. The Epplis also offer home visits, estate consultations, and collection clear-outs. It’s a true family business where genuine treasures come under the hammer!
