These sales can also be viewed online 10 days prior to the auction.

One important difference between an auction and a retail shop is that all goods are sold as seen. Lots could have faults or missing parts so it is very important that you carefully inspect items you are interested in buying before the sale takes place. There are no guarantees given when buying at auction. The absence of a condition report does not constitute a guarantee.

This is a live auction with in-room and online bidding.

• In-room bidding is available at the above location on sale day.
• Commission bids may be left with the auctioneer in person or through the website.
• Telephone bids may be offered on lots with an estimate over £500, subject to availability.
• Online bidding is available through the auction platforms found via the 'Live Online' button near the top of the page.

Prospective buyers will need to register with the auctioneer for in-person or commission bidding, or via the relevant platform for online bidding.

Licensing Act 2003: It is an offence to purchase or attempt to purchase alcohol, tobacco or vaping products if you are under 18 or to do so on behalf of someone under 18. Please be prepared to show proof of age if requested.

Requests for condition reports may be submitted by email or directly through the online catalogue.

We regret that we are unable to process requests for condition reports received after 1.00pm on the day preceding the sale.

A buyers’ premium at 17.5% plus VAT, will be added to the bid price of each lot.

Lots purchased online also attract a platform fee of 5% plus VAT.

Some lots in this sale are sold by VAT registered vendors and will additionally attract VAT on the hammer price. Please refer to descriptions in the catalogue and the ‘additional fee’ box when bidding.
