Have you ever wondered how much your family heirlooms, antiques or forgotten treasures could be worth? Now is the perfect opportunity to find out!
Hansons Auctioneers, a leading UK-based auction house renowned for its expertise in fine art, antiques, jewellery and collectibles, is excited to announce a Valuation Day in Pontefract. The event will be hosted by Charles Hanson, the charismatic TV antiques expert and is designed to give you a free, professional valuation of your prized possessions. This informal, friendly event provides an excellent opportunity for the public to meet an expert in the industry and get an insight into the potential value of their items.


Whether you have gold, silver, jewellery, watches, or antiques that have been passed down through generations, the expert team will be on hand to assess their worth with no obligation.
Broken Gold
Even broken gold is soaring at auction, with scrap gold prices hitting new highs in recent years. So, if you’ve got a broken gold chain, mismatched earrings, or a forgotten bracelet tucked away at the back of a drawer, it might be worth more than you think! With gold prices continuing to rise, even damaged or incomplete jewellery can fetch a significant sum when sold at auction. Whether it’s a chain that’s snapped or a ring that’s lost its stone, don’t overlook these pieces—bring them along to Hansons’ Valuation Day and find out just how much they could be worth. You might be sitting on a hidden treasure!
