Auction appraisal and valuation
We’re happy to provide free appraisals on paintings and works on paper. Auctions are exciting and results are not always predictable—competition can push sought-after artists, strong subjects and fresh-to-market pictures well above their guide price. Our aim is to offer friendly, knowledgeable guidance whatever the value.
For items you’re considering selling, a valuer will give a price guide, e.g. £100–£150, within which we would expect the lot to sell.
High-value or sensitive consignments can carry a reserve price. If the auctioneer does not receive bids at this level, the lot will remain unsold.
