Tiroche Auction House (Hebrew: תירוש מכירות פומביות) is an auction house in Israel.
Tiroche was founded in 1992 by Dov Hazan and Micky Tiroche. Today Tiroche is managed and directed by Orna and Dov Hazan. Tiroche is set apart from all other Israeli auction houses as the largest auction house in the country covering all areas of the Fine and Decorative arts (paintings, sculpture, bronze, silverware, Judaica, antique furniture, porcelain, jewelry, Asian art, African and Pre-Columbian art).
Tiroche has come a long way since it opened in 1992 from sales of up to 200 items per sale to sales that auction over 1000 items during three consecutive days, four times a year. Its showroom is in Herzliya Pituah.
Tiroche has achieved world record prices for paintings by artists such as Abel Pann, Reuven Rubin, Moshe Gershuni, Yochanan Simon, Avraham Naton, Ruth Schloss, work on paper and others.
Tiroche also holds the sole right to auction items on behalf of Israel's General Custodianship (part of the Israeli Ministry of Justice).
Among many of the high profile sales held at Tiroche in the past years were estate auctions belonging to the late Baroness Batsheva de Rothschild and the late philanthropist Gitta Sherover from Jerusalem.

Famous quotes containing the words auction and/or house:
“The white American man makes the white American woman maybe not superfluous but just a little kind of decoration. Not really important to turning around the wheels of the state. Well the black American woman has never been able to feel that way. No black American man at any time in our history in the United States has been able to feel that he didn’t need that black woman right against him, shoulder to shoulder—in that cotton field, on the auction block, in the ghetto, wherever.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“In a rich man’s house there is no place to spit but his face.”
—Diogenes of Sinope (c. 410–c. 320 B.C.)
