Located near Hereford, our auction house is a premier destination for fine art and antiques, serving the West Midlands and Welsh Marches. We hold three major Fine Art auctions each year, showcasing a carefully selected range of antique furniture, fine art, jewellery, silver, and more. In addition, our monthly general auctions feature a broad selection of decorative antiques, vintage furniture, and antique jewellery.
Whether you’re buying or selling, our knowledgeable team is ready to assist. Contact us today to discover more.
We provide a wide variety of departments, drawing on the expertise of experienced valuers to offer specialised knowledge. Our selection includes Natural History and Silver to Militaria, Collectibles, Asian Art, Clocks, Watches, and much more.
We assess a wide range of items, from individual pieces to complete household contents, including antiques, decorative objects, jewellery, artworks and mixed collections. Each valuation is carried out with close attention to condition, rarity and current buyer demand, drawing on active market knowledge rather than theoretical pricing.
People in Hereford often contact us when they feel unsure how to proceed or want an impartial view before making decisions. Our role is to provide a clear picture of what is present and what options are available, allowing clients to move forward with confidence and without obligation.
Insurance valuations require a specific focus, with emphasis placed on replacement cost rather than achievable sale prices. For Hereford clients, we provide insurance valuations that reflect current market conditions and realistic replacement values.
These valuations are suitable for new insurance policies, renewals and portfolio reviews, and are supported by clear descriptions and structured documentation. Our experience across valuation types ensures that reports are appropriate for their intended use and meet insurer expectations.
This service is frequently used by private individuals, trustees and professionals who require reliable, independent valuation advice supported by up to date market insight.
Managing an estate involves legal responsibilities alongside personal considerations. We work with executors, families and professional advisers in Hereford to provide practical estate support that is accurate, organised and dependable.
Our involvement often begins with formal probate valuations prepared to meet reporting and legal requirements. We can then advise on suitable routes for sale and take responsibility for the handling of estate contents, whether through auction services, clearances or a combination of both.
By coordinating valuations and physical estate management, we help reduce complexity and delays. Where solicitors or accountants are involved, we liaise directly to ensure information is consistent and documentation is properly aligned.
Our house clearance service in Hereford is designed to reduce that pressure by managing the process in a structured, considerate way.
Before anything is removed, we take time to review the contents of the property. Items that may be suitable for resale or auction are identified and separated, while the remaining contents are cleared in an orderly and responsible manner. This ensures that items of potential value are recognised and treated appropriately, rather than being overlooked during a general clearance.
We handle clearances for properties of all sizes, from small flats to full family homes. Throughout the process, we work with discretion and care, ensuring the property is left in good order and the client is supported at every stage.
Buyers must collect their purchased items within seven working days of the auction. Failure to do so will result in a storage fee of £5 plus VAT per lot per day.
