Valuations

Thinking of selling? Send us a few photos and our specialists will tell you what your item could make at auction. It’s free, and there’s no obligation to sell.

  • Jewellery

  • Watches

  • Silver

  • Modern Design

  • Northern Art

  • Arms & Militaria

  • Wines & Spirits

  • Coins & Banknotes

  • Antiques & Collectables

Four ways to start

All routes reach the same team. Pick whichever is easiest for you.

Option 1: Online form. Fill in the form below, add clear photos of any hallmarks, signatures or paperwork, and one of our specialists will come back to you within two working days. Prefer email? Send it to auctions@wilson55.com.

Option 2: WhatsApp. Send images and a short description to +44 7955 579249, along with your name and email. We’ll reply from the saleroom.

Option 3: In person, Nantwich. Bring your item to the Victoria Gallery on Market Street. We see valuations by appointment, Monday to Friday, 10 am to 4 pm, so you get dedicated time with a specialist. Call 01270 623878 to book.

Option 4: Home visit. For larger collections, one of our specialists can come to you. Email auctions@wilson55.com to arrange.

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.
