Collectors' Items

This vast area of collecting encompasses almost anything outside the norm – from bronzes to boxes, corkscrews to cameras, and fans to fishing tackle!

This field requires a considerable breadth of knowledge; thankfully, all of our Senior Valuers have at least twenty years in their field. Whether your instruments are musical or scientific, we undertake thorough research to market them properly. One such recent success was a late 17th-century oval snuff box, rated at £250 elsewhere but - properly catalogued and targeted to the right audience - it sold for £1,500 with us.

From the eclectic mix of weird and wonderful items that have come through our doors, highlights include a life-size reproduction fibre glass and composition model of a Mark 2 Dalek from the Doctor Who series, which sold for £1,400, a brass scratch built steam model of a horse drawn portable engine, c1900, which sold for £500, and a 17th century brass folding Gunter sector measure rule in the manner of Edmund Gunter, signed 'John Allen fecit', which sold for a staggering £10,000.

Our collectors' items department also covers all designer items, from Chanel bags, Hermes scarves, and more.
