The Potomack Company is introducing Phoenix Mill as an online auction marketplace with a different approach, as the platform will be a home for auctions with an environmentally conscious focus. Additionally, The Potomack Company notes that Phoenix Mill was created to "provide a team of young adults, with plans derailed, an opportunity to give objects new life in new homes, discourage throwaway culture, and give back."
To discourage throwaway culture and help people to invest in quality pieces that are actually crafted to last, Phoenix Mill appeals to a new generation of buyers who want to uniquely enhance their homes and lifestyle, all while doing so in an environmentally responsible way.
The first sale is set to feature items from the Corby Mansion in Chevy Chase, Maryland, which has hosted influential families and individuals over time.
