We are always on
the lookout to purchase or consign high quality items,
collections, and accumulations of the following
collectables: |
|
In
most cases we are also able to accept modern
jewellery. We will also keenly accept ancient
British artefacts & metal-detector finds (always
submit British Museum documents if required).
If your
material is judged by us to have, in total, a
realistic reserve value of £180 or more- then you
will be eligible to sell your goods through our
auction.
For goods of
lesser value, or for those looking for a quick sale:
we are always willing to offer a fair cash sum,
based on our personal appraisal.
In order for us
to make a cash offer to purchase your goods, we must
examine them closely. For this purpose you
must visit us in person, so ask any time during
business hours to ascertain when and where it's best
to call. It is possible to appraise items by
post, but all postal charges will have to be at your
expense so be sure that your items are of sufficient
value.
Our auctions
take place every two months. For any given
sale, items should be submitted at least five weeks
prior to that date:

visit you at your place of residence. European
Union appointments are welcome if made in absolute
certainty of consignment, and only in the case of
major collections.
