Every year we take in thousands of lots each of which is researched and catalogued. All catalogues are sent from a mailing list comprising both trade and private collectors. These regular catalogued sales take place in Leicester and Northampton every four to six weeks with an average of five hundred to eight hundred lots. Sales cover every facet of the fine art world including, Furniture, Porcelain, and Pottery, Silver, Silver Plate, Jewellery, Glass, Metalware, Objects d'Art, Pictures, Bronzes, Musical Instruments, Textiles etc. All items are on public view before the auction and the auctioneers will happily execute commission bids on behalf of prospective purchasers who are unable to attend the sale.
Staff are always on hand to advise and answer questions.
These sales create local, national and international interest. Potential purchasers visit the sale not only to acquire a piece from a local private house, but also because of the diversity of items offered for sale. Frequently the new owner of the property will buy pieces in order to retain the character of the house, whilst paying a fair price in an openmarket, with the minimum of fuss and inconvenience. Our most recent such sale was held at Cadeby Hall near Market Bosworth. We hold an annual sale of books and collectors' items.
