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.

Location

Cheffins purpose-built salerooms in the centre of Cambridge are only minutes from the mainline train station, making us the perfect choice for London-based buyers and sellers.

Cheffins provides an unrivalled service to clients the world over. The business combines exceptional personal service, a significant understanding of the art and antiques world and PR and marketing which ensures that consignments are sold globally, with regular sales throughout the Europe, the USA and Asia. Cheffins takes the hassle out of both buying and selling at auction, offering some of the best and most personal service in the trade. 

Private collections and house contents 

Cheffins also has an established reputation for selling private collections and entire house contents, both from our Cambridge sale rooms and on-site, and has been involved in some of the largest country house sales to date. Our team of specialists provide a bespoke end-to-end service from initial valuation, cataloguing and marketing strategy through to producing an exciting and diverse catalogue, with estimates regularly exceeded. Large collections, distinguished collectors, fascinating or large country houses all offer opportunity for a one-off house contents auctions.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
