Consigning Items
Consignment Service – Maximise the Value of Your Antiques
Our consignment service allows you to retain ownership of your items while we work to achieve the best possible value on your behalf. We only take a commission upon a successful sale, ensuring our goals are fully aligned with yours.
We manage every aspect of the selling process:
- Professional cataloguing and transport of your items
- High-quality photography and compelling item descriptions
- Global online exposure on leading platforms
- Presentation at prestigious antique fairs across the UK
By choosing consignment, you avoid the high auction fees that can exceed 50% in combined seller and buyer costs. Instead, you benefit from a higher return, closer to full retail value. Once your items sell, we take an agreed commission, leaving you with the majority of the proceeds.

Antiques Valuation – Expert Appraisals You Can Trust
When it comes to valuing antiques, several key factors determine an item’s market worth. At Lee Sherman Antiques, we combine over 30 years of experience with meticulous attention to detail to provide accurate and professional valuations for estates, personal collections, and individual pieces.
Condition
The condition of an item plays a major role in its value. We assess for cracks, chips, repairs, or wear, which can affect market worth. In some cases, expert restoration can enhance value, particularly for rare or highly sought-after pieces. Even damaged items, including jewellery or silver, may retain significant salvage value.
Rarity
Rarity often has a greater impact on value than condition alone. A damaged but rare item may still be more valuable than a flawless but common one. Age by itself does not guarantee worth; market demand and collectability are equally important. Many antiques over 100 years old may have little to no market value if demand is low.
Authentication & Provenance
A documented history or provenance strengthens an item’s legitimacy and can increase its value. Family-owned antiques with clear lineage are more likely to be genuine and highly sought after by collectors.
With over three decades of expertise in antiques and collectables, we offer trusted valuations that are thorough, fair, and market-aware.

House Clearance
A house clearance will often follow the loss of a family member or somebody close and we completely appreciate and fully understand how difficult a time this can be. We operate efficiently and with little disruption to make the process as smooth as we possibly can. We will survey/assess the property contents, agree on a price, from there on you can leave the rest to us. We take away all the stress and worry and after agreeing on terms we will completely clear your entire property of its contents, if that is required, leaving it in a clean and presentable state.
