Luxury Unlocked: Wilsons Auctions’ Showcase at The Merchant Hotel
8th Aug 2025
On Friday 15th August, Wilsons Auctions will raise the velvet curtain on an event that few would expect, a one-night-only Luxury Auction held in the heart of Belfast. Taking place at The Merchant Hotel, this venue is renowned as a beacon of sophistication in Northern Ireland and provides the perfect stage for an evening defined by elegance, exclusivity, and exceptional treasures.
Rare statement pieces, fine jewellery, and iconic watches will all be available on the night of the auction. Each item listed in the catalogue has been carefully authenticated by a team of luxury experts. Wilsons Auctions ensure every item is genuine, offering buyers the opportunity to own not just luxury, but sought-after items normally only available on retail waitlists.
Highlighted in the auction catalogue is a platinum Rolex Daytona with ice blue dial. Equally compelling is a 18ct white gold Rolex Sky-Dweller, offered complete with original box and papers.
For jewellery lovers, eyes will be on a show-stopping platinum natural Brilliant Cut 3.75ct Diamond Solitaire Ring, modern and dazzling in its simplicity along with a rare opportunity to acquire an important Cartier Emerald & Diamond Necklace. The necklace compromising of a graduating row of round-cut emeralds in clusters of round brilliant-cut diamonds adorned by further round brilliant-cut diamonds complete with its original Cartier fitted box.
Fashion connoisseurs will be drawn to a Hermès Birkin in Gris Asphalt Clemence Leather. Alongside the Birkin will be a large range of designer handbags, including Yves Saint Laurent Kate Tassel, Hermès Kelly Retourne, Fendi Baguette, Gucci Marmont Tote, and a Chanel Paris-Cuba Multicolour Sequin Medium Boy Bag.
Luxury Goods Auctioneer, Allan Mckenzie commented, “This is certainly building to be an exciting one! We run various luxury auctions every month and yet so many people don’t realise this is on their doorstep.
