JBP Furnishings Retirement Auction — Sterling Silver Jewelry, Furniture, Uranium Glass & Collectibles
After Years on Madison Avenue, Everything Goes to Auction
After years of serving Indianapolis families with quality home furnishings and mattresses, Brandon is retiring and closing the doors at JBP Furnishings on Madison Avenue. What began as a neighborhood fixture has become a retirement transition — and that means everything must go.
This isn't a typical estate auction. This is a retail liquidation of a working furniture store — complete with display furniture, sterling silver jewelry inventory, home décor collectibles, and the commercial equipment that kept the business running. It's the kind of auction where household bidders find move-in-ready furniture while collectors discover unexpected treasures tucked between the showroom displays.
Auction Day: Wednesday, May 27, 2026
10:00 AM — Estate Discovery Session Uncataloged lumber, scaffolding, tools, and retail fixtures sell live on-site. Cash and carry the same day. No online bidding available for this session.
11:00 AM — Simulcast Auction Begins 306 cataloged lots of sterling silver jewelry, furniture, uranium glass, and collectibles. Bid live on-site at JBP Furnishings OR online at bids.burgessauctions.com.
