About Us Catawiki was founded in 2008; it was originally designed as a website where collectors could manage and keep track of their collections online. Visitors can still add new items to the existing catalogue of collectibles. Unsurprisingly, the name Catawiki is a combination of the words ‘catalogue’ and ‘wiki’. In 2011, Catawiki began hosting weekly auctions in various categories, including art, antiques, classic cars, watches, jewellery, fashion, books, and stamps. Catawiki’s auctions are carefully compiled by our team of experts. They help guarantee a varied and high quality selection of lots. Catawiki welcomes many millions of visitors from all over the world every month. Our organisation therefore has a strong international focus, with employees from all over Europe. Our offices are located in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, and Spain.
