Antiques Valuation - Condition
The condition of an item significantly impacts its value. We assess for cracks, chips, and repairs, which may affect worth. In some cases, expert restoration can enhance value, especially for rare pieces. Even damaged items, such as jewellery or silver, may retain salvage value.
Antiques Valuation - Rarity
Rarity influences an item’s worth—damaged but rare pieces may still hold more value than flawless but common ones. Age alone does not determine value; demand does. Many antiques over 100 years old have little to no market value.
Antiques Valuation - Authentication
Provenance is key in authentication. A documented history strengthens an item’s legitimacy and can enhance its value. Family-owned antiques with a clear lineage are more likely to be genuine.
With over 30 years of experience in antiques and collectables, we offer expert valuations for estates and personal collections. Contact us today to discuss your requirements.
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.
