We know that coming along to an auction for the first time can be a little daunting! We aim to offer a friendly welcome and will help you where we can. If you’re interested in visiting one of our auctions, simply come along during the viewing times (found here) and have a look at what’s on offer for the next sale – this is a good way to get a feel for the saleroom and offers plenty of time for you to browse at your leisure and talk with the staff if you have any queries.
If you’re not sure you’d like to bid in the room on the day or you can’t make it, you can leave commission bids with reception – these must be received by 10am on the morning of the sale. Any bids after that time we may not be able to execute on your behalf due to time constraints.
If you’d like to bid in the room, you will need to register at reception prior to the sale. You will be given a bidding paddle with a number that is assigned to you. When a lot comes up that you’re interested in, simply raise your bidding paddle or hand so the auctioneer can see it. If you’re the highest bidder you will win that lot – providing it has exceeded any reserve price. The auctioneer will need to note down your number when you win.
We have catalogues available to buy during your viewing, alternatively you can download a copy from the website.
We look forward to seeing you!
