Henry Adams Fine Art Auctioneers
Chichester
Baffins Hall, Baffins Lane, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 1UA, Chichester
Based in our historic 18th-century saleroom in Chichester, we combine decades of expertise with personal service. Led by BBC expert Nick Hall, we specialise in monthly fine art and antique auctions, achieving exceptional hammer prices for everything from jewellery to rare oil paintings.
Our Historic Chichester Saleroom
We invite you to Baffins Hall, a stunning 18th-century former Unitarian Chapel in the heart of Chichester. This unique setting provides the perfect backdrop for our monthly auctions of fine art, antiques, and collectors' items. We believe that selling precious items should be an experience, not just a transaction, which is why we combine a professional auction environment with a warm, approachable atmosphere.
Led by BBC Expert Nick Hall
Our team is led by Director Nick Hall, a name you might recognise from his 20 years as an antiques expert on BBC’s Flog It! and Bargain Hunt. We bring that same televised level of scrutiny and passion to every item we handle. Whether you have a single piece of jewellery or a significant family collection, we combine deep market knowledge with old-fashioned personal service to ensure you feel confident in the process.
Professional Valuations You Can Trust
We provide more than just auction services. We are specialists in providing formal, written valuations for a variety of legal and personal needs:
- Probate (Inheritance Tax): We offer a quick, efficient service for Executors, prioritising site visits to help settle estates swiftly and even coordinating house clearances when required.
- Insurance Valuations: Protect your assets with detailed inventories that reflect current market values, helping you prove the extent of any loss to your insurance company.
- Family Division: Clear, impartial valuations to assist in the fair and transparent distribution of assets.

Our monthly sales are diverse and well-attended by international bidders. We specialise in a wide array of categories:
| Category | Specialisms |

| Fine Art | Oil paintings, watercolours, and contemporary sculpture |

| Home | Furniture, clocks, carpets, rugs, and ceramics |
