Your account will then be prepared in your name at the office by the front door, and the goods can be collected during the sale from the collections officers in the courtyard. If you cannot attend the sale we will be delighted to bid on your behalf, and there is no charge for this service. Please fill in a Bid Form and it will be executed as cheaply as possible subject to other bids and vendor's reserves. Buyers unknown to us are advised to make arrangement before the sale for references, as cheques must be cleared before purchases can be removed. We will be pleased to arrange delivery of any items to your home, for which a quotation will be given.

The value of painting, furniture, ceramics and silver, etc has increased considerably in recent years and the valuation is a record for you. Specialist items such as jewellery, toys or old master pictures are consigned to specialist sales in London or abroad, so the maximum price is achieved for you. Often used in conjunction with the finding service.
