Send photos and a few details through our form.

WhatsApp

Send photos and details over WhatsApp. Best for a quick valuation.

By appointment

Meet a specialist at our Nantwich saleroom, or ask about a home visit. Best for larger collections.

2 Step 2

Agree sale terms

Once your valuation is complete, we'll walk you through the seller's agreement and discuss any reserves you'd like to set. There's no pressure here - valuations are free and you're under no obligation to proceed.

Review the seller's agreement

It confirms the items you're consigning and the specialist auction they'll be entered into.

Agree any reserves

You can set a confidential minimum price below which an item won't sell. Reserves aren't published.

Sign the agreement

Fees are set out in advance, with no hidden charges. There's no fee if an item doesn't sell, and commission is only payable on a successful sale.
