ONLINE VALUATION FORM

Simply fill out details about your item and submit. To help us with your valuation, please include photographs and measurements of your items, and a brief description detailing any known provenance and interesting features. Our valuation team will then be in touch to provide an pre-sale estimate and further information. We do get a lot of requests so it can take up to 2-4 weeks for one of our dedicated specialists to respond. 

WALK-IN VALUATION SERVICE

We hold a weekly walk-in valuation service every Tuesday and Thursday, 10am to 4pm, at our Roslin Square Valuation Centre. There is no need to book an appointment, just turn up with your items and a General Valuer will be on hand to value your items and explain the auction process.

SPECIALIST VALUATION SERVICE

With over twenty specialist departments, we have experts available across a broad spectrum of collecting categories - including Jewellery, Watches, Designer Handbags & Fashion, Antiques & Interiors, Silver and more. You can book a valuation appointment with one of our specialists by contacting them directly through the relevant department pages.

Once it is determined that your item(s) are suitable for sale at auction, we will establish a pre-sale estimate, catalogue the item and market to our UK and international buyers ahead of the auction.
