What we do 

Our team of experts can help both buyers and sellers through every step of the auction process, and regularly work with some of the biggest names in the art, antiques and interior design world. As well as our regular auctions, we also offer a wide range of valuation services for insurance and probate as well as dealing with single-owner collections and major country house sales, hosted either at Cheffins or on site sales at some of the finest homes across the UK.
