About Us

We specialise in the valuation of fine art, jewellery and watches, antiques, decorative items and general household contents.

Established in 1986, customer satisfaction and the quality of our work is our highest priority. We are fully independent, offering impartial advice with no conflict of interest.

As a result of our impeccable security record and professionalism we are highly recommended by our private clients and all high net worth insurance companies, brokers and law firms.

Our team of expert valuers, alongside specialist consultants, work throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. As members of the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers, we value everything from a few precious items to the contents of an entire estate.
