Hi Fire
You could look in trade directories (library) for auction houses near to where he lived.
It's a start - and you may at least get an idea of what he would have done.

On a Bethnal Green 1901 census for My Great Great-Grandfather and His parents and Siblings.
Hid dad is a auctioneer assistant.
Would there be any records for his time as A auctioneer assistant at a unknown Place of work.
But he lived in 6 Low Square Bethanl Green London.
Thank You
