Founded in 2015 by Matthew Elton and Christopher Lanigan O’Keeffe, Hotlotz was born from a vision to modernise Singapore's auction scene. We aimed to create an auction house that honours traditional values while embracing the transformative power of new technology.

Our core mission is to connect buyers, sellers, and collectors of quality secondary items through engaging online auctions. By doing so, we ensure that valuable, pre-loved items are given a new life and their full potential is realized.

We now host over 50 globally marketed online auctions every year, offering local and international buyers an impressive array of thoughtfully curated items sourced from Singapore. Our auction categories include: Asian Ceramics & Works of Art, Peranakan & Associated Works of Art, Interiors & Collectibles, Jewellery & Watches, Designer & Luxury Fashion, Coins & Banknotes, and many more.

In 2025, we relaunched our digital marketplace business, which offers curated, authenticated items at fixed prices, furthering our commitment to supporting the circular economy and the wider secondary market in Singapore.

Hotlotz boasts a friendly, multinational team of 20 professionals. Our team is structured across three key departments: valuations, operations, and technology. We conduct our business honestly, ethically, and transparently. 

Our success is built on the reputation we have diligently cultivated: one of trusted, reliable, unpretentious, and professional service. This foundation is our greatest source of pride, and nothing is more important to us than our hard-earned reputation and our clients’ satisfaction.

Whether you are looking to sell a significant collection or a single cherished item, we are committed to working hard to achieve the best possible results and providing you with helpful, tailored solutions.

We invite you to experience the difference for yourself. Get in touch, visit our saleroom, or browse our latest auction catalogues and marketplace offerings today.
