We handle a wide range of antiques across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, helping clients who want to sell antiques Surrey, sell antiques Hampshire or simply search “sell antiques near me”.
Our valuers specialise in jewellery, silver, coins, medals, glass, paintings, clocks, militaria and antique furniture Surrey, combining specialist expertise with long experience in general appraisal.
Home valuations add privacy and security, while also allowing the valuer to point out items you may not have realised were valuable. Calling in a valuer before a house clearance often reveals pieces worth far more than expected.
For assessment visits in Farnham, Fleet, Farnborough, Guildford, Godalming, Haslemere and Woking, we do not charge for travelling time. If you live further afield, we may ask for images by email before visiting.
If you prefer, items can also be brought directly to our Farnham saleroom.
Auction appraisal and valuation
Our valuers are happy to provide free appraisals on all kinds of antiques. Auctions are exciting and results can exceed expectations—some pieces sell for sums far above their guide price. Our aim is to give every client honest, knowledgeable advice, whether you are parting with a single heirloom or a whole collection.
For items considered for sale, appraisals are free of charge. A valuer will provide a price guide, for example £100–£150, within which the lot is expected to sell.
High-value or significant items can be entered with a reserve price. If bids do not reach this level, the item remains unsold, ensuring sellers retain control.
Frequently asked questions on auction valuation
– What is an auction appraisal?
An appraisal is carried out by an experienced valuer who estimates the likely auction value of your antiques. This is based on condition, provenance, demand and past results for similar items.
– Is it worth bringing items if I’m unsure of value?
Yes. Many clients are surprised to learn they own pieces worth far more than expected. Even modest lots can attract interest.
– Can you guarantee the hammer price?
No auctioneer can be 100% certain, but with worldwide online bidding and accurate catalogues, demand is strong. This makes us the best place to sell antiques Surrey sellers trust.
– Are items safe if left with you?
Yes. All antiques left for appraisal or auction are stored securely and fully insured.
– Do you charge storage fees before an auction?
No. We do not charge any storage fees before the sale.
– How long will it take to value my antiques?
