If you’ve always wondered what that antique treasure, quirky collectable or piece of jewellery might be worth you can find out for free in Warwickshire.
Antique and jewellery valuation and consignment days are being held at St Nicholas Church Hall, Henley-in-Arden, on June 7 and July 5, 11.30am-1.30pm.
Experts from Hansons Auctioneers, a firm renowned for achieving record-breaking prices, can assess your items. If you like the estimate they can be consigned to auction on the day – and no appointment is necessary.
Charles Hanson, owner of Hansons Auctioneers and a familiar face on TV shows such as Bargain Hunt, said: “We can’t wait to see what the people of Warwickshire will bring along. If you have something tucked away at home you think may be of value, or simply feel ready to part with items you no longer need, do drop by. Dig out those treasures and find out if you’re sitting on an auction windfall.
“Despite the economic downturn, auction sales are booming. It’s a particularly good time to sell jewellery and gold. Recently, a gold charm bracelet sold for ore than £6,000 and a Victorian garnet and yellow metal swag mourning necklace achieved £1,350 from a £20-£30 estimate. Whatever you own, there are buyers out there for everything, from vinyl records and vintage toys to militaria and ceramics.”
Experts value all types of general antiques and collectables including works of art, pottery, coins and banknotes, books, railwayana, jewellery, watches, silver and memorabilia relating to sport, music and films.
Free valuations will be offered at St Nicholas Church Hall, Beaudesert Lane, Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire, B95 5JY, 11.30am-1.30pm on June 7 and July 5. To find out more, email [email protected] or call 01283 733988.
