Clarendon Fine Art Services

Decades of Expertise in Fine Art and Antiques

We understand that valuing a lifetime’s collection or a single precious heirloom requires more than just a keen eye—it requires a deep, academic understanding of the global market and a commitment to professional integrity. Led by Nicholas M. Jarrett FRICS, a Valuer and Auctioneer with over 35 years of experience, we have been the preferred choice for fine art and chattel valuations since 2001.

Our work is conducted under the aegis of the Fine Art Faculty of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This is the gold standard of professional accreditation, ensuring our reports are accepted by HMRC, the Courts, and major insurance companies.

Whether you are a private individual, a solicitor, or a court-appointed official, we tailor our approach to your specific needs.

Comprehensive Valuations for Every Requirement

• Insurance: Detailed inventories to ensure your assets are fully protected.
• Family Division: Fair and impartial valuations for divorce or distribution.
• Expert Witness: Professional reports for the Police, the Courts, and legal disputes.

From Dutch Masters to Tribal Art: A Proven Track Record

Our familiarity with both home and international markets allows us to identify and value items that others might overlook. We have a history of delivering exceptional results for our clients, including the successful sale of high-value assets:

"Our successes include the sale of a pair of oil paintings by Frederik Marianus Kruseman for £92,000, a fine antique Mohtashem Kashan carpet for £7,800, and even niche collectors' items like a 1978 Triumph Bonneville."

Beyond the Valuation Report

We offer more than just paperwork. We are independent consultants who can guide you through the entire lifecycle of an antique or work of art. From advising on conservation and shipping to managing house clearances and acting as freelance auctioneers, we provide a full-spectrum service.
