Selling Antiques, Fine Art and Jewellery
 An
important part of our business is the personal, confidential advice
service which we offer for the sale of antiques, fine art and jewellery.
In general, most items are sold without the benefit of such advice
and this can often result in their being entered into inappropriate
auction sales and consequently the prices realised are often substantially
lower than they should be.
Our policy has always been to place each item where
we feel the best price will be obtained. This could be in a specialist
auction in London or overseas or in a more general auction at one
of the leading regional auction rooms.
We take on the day to day communication and administration
with each auction room while keeping our clients fully informed
of the progress of their items through each sale. This service is
offered completely free of charge (as we receive a proportion of
the auction rooms vendors commission to cover our costs).
However in certain cases we may recommend that
a private sale is more appropriate. We have considerable experience
in negotiating such sales to major museums, art galleries, dealers
and private collectors.
