Heritage Only offers a selling experience defined by discretion, trust, and results. Every detail — from listing to settlement — is curated for owners of significant plates seeking a premium auction house trusted by Australia’s most serious collectors.

We don’t just sell plates — we elevate them. As the country’s only auction house dedicated exclusively to Heritage plates, we deliver results worthy of their legacy.

A Showcase Within the Grand Ballroom
Your plate won’t just be listed — it will be presented. Our live auctions take place at Park Hyatt Melbourne, where each plate is introduced to a room of qualified collectors in a setting that reflects its value and rarity. With a full broadcast and live online bidding, sellers enjoy unmatched reach and prestige.

The Buyer’s Lounge — Exclusivity That Drives Demand
Reserved only for winning bidders, the Buyer’s Lounge adds another layer of luxury and status to each auction. From premium spirits and gourmet food to exclusive post-auction access, this offering builds emotional connection — and bidding momentum — around every plate.

Park Hyatt & Valet Experience for Buyers
Each winning bidder receives a return invitation to the next live auction, with complimentary accommodation, valet parking, and gourmet breakfast. This continuity encourages repeat participation and fosters a loyal base of engaged collectors ready to buy again — and spend more.

The Australian Open Event — Reserved for Buyers
Our top 50 buyers are invited annually to an unforgettable private experience at the Australian Open — premium seats, luxury hospitality, and exclusive access to tennis legends and the iconic trophy. This invitation-only reward creates urgency and prestige that motivates high-stakes bidding.

Frequently Asked Questions

To secure a listing in our Live Auction, our service requires a fixed investment of $2990. To guarantee a seamless and well-promoted auction experience, your investment must be paid upfront and is non-refundable.

A Vendor’s Premium is a fee paid directly to Heritage Only from the final sale price. This fee covers the service of completing settlement and transferring ownership between the Buyer and the Seller. Heritage Only will deduct the Vendor’s Premium automatically from your final sale price. Our Vendor’s Premium is 2% (incl. GST).

All online bidders are required to undergo a thorough security verification process. If our team determines that a registration does not meet our standards, bidding privileges will not be granted for the auction. These measures effectively mitigate the risk of unethical or fraudulent behavior among online bidders.

If the auction meets the reserve and the buyer fails to complete the transaction, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, Heritage Only reserves the right to:

a. Cancel the Purchaser’s Account;
b. Initiate legal action to recover all owed funds, including Buyer’s Premium, administrative fees, expenses, and lost income;
c. Sell the Lot to the next highest Bidder or through another method without prior notice to the Purchaser, and seek to recover any shortfall from the Purchaser after deducting expenses;
d. Seek compensation from the Purchaser for any additional losses, costs, or expenses related to the resale of the Lot, including any difference between the original Purchase Price and the resale price.

The reserve is determined by the seller.
