How to sell antiques at auction

If you would like to sell antiques or collectible items which you no longer require, our team of professional auctioneers can guide you through the entire sales process. To begin with, one of our antique experts will provide a specialist valuation of your asset to determine an estimated price. As members of RICS, we conduct valuations according to the highest professional standards, with expertise across a comprehensive range of asset types. We will manage the auction process from marketing to target potential buyers, through to completion and payment for a transparent transaction.

Selling through auction provides a typically quick turnaround time, which is beneficial for releasing liquidity in a short period of time. In addition, we can harness our international network of buyers and resources for marketing your assets compared to having to use your own time and resources for this.
