A piece of the moon, a complete dinosaur skeleton, the Pope's hat, the world's smallest book - at Catawiki, we come across exceptional objects such as these every day. The special object you’ve been searching for, or a new and unexpected interest you never thought you’d have: the more you look, the more you’ll find. And at Catawiki, there’s always more to the story. Every day, sellers submit thousands of objects to sell on Catawiki. Our 240+ in-house experts review and select only the best to auction.
Our mission is to connect passionate enthusiasts with objects that tell their stories. As Europe’s fastest-growing online auction platform, we help over 10 million people discover new treasures every month. We are continually growing and always on the lookout for new talent!
Founded in The Netherlands in 2008, we have grown to over 750 employees across 7 international offices, maintaining a start-up mentality. In December 2020, we received a €150m investment led by Permira, fueling our growth globally.
