What happens next
We review your item. Your submission goes to the specialist for the relevant category:
Stephen Sparrow for Classic Art and Paintings, Northern Art, Watches, Coins and Banknotes
Chris Large for Firearms, Shotguns, Airguns, Militaria, and Musical Instruments
Sharon Sparrow for Jewellery
Anna Lambert for Northern Art, Classic Art and Paintings and Modern Art
James Spiridion for Glass, Ceramics, Silver, Modern Design, Asian Art and Pop Culture
Peter Hopkins for Fine Wines and Spirits
You get an auction estimate. A realistic range based on the current market, not an insurance figure.
We recommend the right sale. If your item’s a fit, we’ll suggest the auction to enter it in. If it isn’t, we’ll say so.
There’s no fee to get a valuation, and no obligation to sell.
