As a third-generation family business, we pride ourselves on combining traditional values of integrity and personal service with a modern, global approach to auctioneering.

Achieving Global Results from our Lancashire Saleroom

- Jewellery: A stunning 6.35ct diamond solitaire ring that achieved £15,800.
- Asian Art: A Chinese rhinoceros horn libation cup from the 17th/18th century which reached £9,600, and a Jiaqing period immortals vase sold for £25,000.
- Historical Medals: We were honoured to sell a unique Father and Son Polar Medal Group for £24,500.
