For some, antiques fill a room. For others, antiques fill a life. Vikki Vines is one of the latter. Vikki is the top female auctioneer in Texas and arguably one of the top in the nation. Vikki started Gallery Auctions over twenty-five years ago and has created a worldwide buying trip under one roof.
A trip to Gallery Auctions holds the same excitement and passion that Vikki feels for the industry. Over her 25 years as an auctioneer, Vikki has traveled to England, Belgium, Argentina, Spain and France, not to mention the hidden antique alleys of the United States. Whether at a fair in a foreign country or a yard sale on the way to work, Vikki knows a find when she sees one.
Not only does Vikki know quality, she doesn't do anything that's not big. Ten years ago Vikki had the current location built and quickly filled the 27,000 square foot, three acre property to capacity with her treasures. Just recently Vikki sold the previous building and has moved Gallery Auctions just a few minutes East of the previous location. Moving between ten and fifteen 45 foot containers along with estates and consignments through Gallery Auctions monthly, Vikki has created the Southwest's largest trade source for new designer furniture as well as antiques.
After creating her very own auction empire, Vikki turned it into a family affair. Vikki's son, Jon Goodling, has grown up in the world of auctions, a one year old when she went to auction school. The excitement of the auction world was contagious and Jon now works full time at Gallery Auctions. His specialty is mid-century modern and his eye for style is impeccable.
Jon's advice and assistance to Gallery Auction's clients is part of what makes a trip to Gallery Auctions successful. Whether it's explaining the process to a newcomer or calling up the regulars to let them know he's found something they will like, Jon's lifetime of expertise in the industry is invaluable to the business.
A family business that has come full circle, Gallery Auctions provides something for every buyer from the dealers to the first time decorators looking for new furniture to the connoisseurs of the art of antiques.

Great Place
I have made many purchases from Gallery Auctions and I've never been disappointed. They are fair and efficient and the guys who load the stuff are absolute magicians when it comes to getting everything in my SUV. Great place.

Love the auction!
I won these pots and they are huge!!! I got such a great price for them. Now I can’t stop “attending” the auction live for online bidding. Vikki is such a great auctioneer with such a great sense of humor, making the auction fun. I think I’m addicted to the Monday auctions now, and no rehab is needed. I’m just a little fish in Gallery’s huge ocean, but I am treated so well. Thank you Gallery for this fun outlet!

The best
I fell in love with this item while wandering through the warehouse. I snapped a pic and later emailed Corey inquiring about it. She told me to watch the upcoming auctions for it. Sure enough, in a couple weeks it was up for auction. Obviously nobody else has my quirky taste because I was the only one who bid on it. I scheduled a pickup time with Corey, but my transport fell through. I rescheduled and it fell through twice more. Corey was so gracious about my plight. Then a family emergency delayed pickup again. I thought Corey would think I was flaking on my purchase, but she was very sympathetic and understanding. Finally arranged and got it picked up and I couldn’t be happier. The sofa is perfect and Corey was most wonderful in our communications.

Wonderful!!
My very first auction with Gallery! I was so excited to have won my item. I went to Gallery the vet next day to pick it up and was treated like royalty. My meager little less-than-$100 purchase, and I was welcomed into the warehouse and given a tour as if I had spent thousands. I’m thrilled with my online little purchase, and became a follower online.

Top Notch Auction House, Impeccable Service
Gallery Auctions is a top notch auction house, providing incredible service before, during, and after their sales. Their entire team, especially Jon, went above and beyond to make this purchase as seamless as possible, working with my freight shipper to coordinate pick up and delivery to NYC. When my item arrived missing a small piece, Jon was very quick to send over screen grabs of their loading dock cameras, showing that the item had been handed over to the freighter safely and in its entirety, and even offered to call them directly to work out where the missing piece could be, which he had no obligation to do (it was quickly found at the freighter's warehouse, and subsequently delivered to me). Their inventory consistently impresses, with a fantastic selection of thoughtful pieces, full of character and unrivaled among any of the other auction houses I know. It's always a joy to receive updates on their upcoming sales, and I look forward to bidding again soon.
