Our specialists cover a wide range of categories, including:
Jewellery & Watches
From antique brooches and Art Deco bracelets to modern diamond rings and luxury watches by brands such as Rolex, Omega, and Cartier. Fine jewellery, gold, and designer pieces are particularly in demand.
Paintings & Sculpture
We welcome artwork from traditional and contemporary artists, including local painters and members of the renowned Staithes Group, for whom we have achieved record-breaking auction results. Whether it’s a classic 19th-century oil painting, a signed limited-edition print, or a striking bronze or marble sculpture, our specialists are always keen to see exceptional pieces.
Furniture, Rugs & Carpets
From elegant Georgian and Victorian furniture to stylish mid-century modern pieces, high-quality craftsmanship and design are always sought after. We are also particularly well known for our sales of Mouseman and Yorkshire oak furniture, which continues to be hugely popular with collectors and buyers. Persian and Oriental rugs, as well as decorative carpets, are also welcome.
Decorative Objects
This includes everything from antique to contemporary silverware, decorative ceramics, elegant glassware, striking bronzes, and distinctive objets d’art. Well-crafted and unique pieces consistently draw strong interest at auction.
Militaria & Medals
We are actively seeking quality militaria and medals, from historic uniforms and wartime ephemera to antique swords, bayonets, and other edged weapons. Our specialists also welcome military awards and medals, prized for their historical significance and the stories they tell of bravery and service, whether from WWI, WWII, or earlier conflicts.
Curiosities
If you have something unusual, unexpected, or simply extraordinary, we would love to see it. This category includes taxidermy, entomology, natural history specimens, and other fascinating man-made and natural wonders. From antique scientific instruments to automata and oddities, these intriguing pieces often spark competitive bidding.
Coins, Banknotes & Stamps
Single rare coins, gold and silver proof sets, pre-1947 silver coinage, historic banknotes, and complete stamp collections are always of interest.
Specialist Collectors’ Items
The market for specialist collectables is thriving, and we are keen to see items such as model trains, vintage toys, fine wines and whiskies, antique maps, cameras, musical instruments, and ephemera. Rare and sought-after pieces can attract significant interest from collectors.
