The Auctioneers offer a free advisory service on any
item brought into them. Inspection visits at your home, or premises, can be
arranged if items are too large or numerous to bring into the Auction Galleries.
This service is normally free of charge to clients who wish to consign
goods for auction.
Transport of goods can be arranged with reputable local carriers and we also
offer free storage of goods pending auction. Transport is calculated on a
time/cost basis and is usually deducted from the final proceeds of the sale.
House clearance of entire contents sympathetically and speedily undertaken.
Goods may be brought to the Auction Galleries during normal working hours by prior
arrangement. Closing dates for Antiques Auctions – four weeks prior to
Sale, and for the General Monthly Auctions – two weeks prior to Sale.
All sales are catalogued in detail, with some lots being illustrated.
All sales are advertised locally and nationally.
