Source Title
Description Shapiro Auctioneers is an art auction house located in Sydney, Australia. It was formed as a result a buyout of Phillips International Auctioneers' locations in Australia. Managing Director Andrew Shapiro had joined Phillips in New York in 1984 as an expert on 19th and 20th century fine decorative arts. In 1990, he was assigned to Australia to set up Phillips' presence there. He then led the buyout of Phillips in 2001.

Shapiro Auctioneers describe their specialty as "Australian and international art, Aboriginal art, 20/21 century design, traditional furniture and decorative art, in particular English and European silver and objets d'vertu." Books would not be a major part of their business, but rather an occasional one.
