Transparency of practice and traceability of all items are of paramount importance in helping to make our service to you second to none. Vendors of Antiques - Monthly Catalogue Sale Silverwoods valuers conduct a free no obligation appraisal service at their sale room every Monday morning (apart from bank holidays). This is aimed chiefly at vendors of antiques and collectables for entry into our monthly catalogue sales. All items are inspected and appraised, estimates and reserves discussed and advice given as to which sale your items should be put forward. Some items will be more suitable for the weekly general sale. Reserve prices will only be applied to a lot on the specific instruction of the vendor who must speak to the auctioneer. This reserve figure will always be subject to a 10% discretion unless it is a fixed reserve.Unsold lots which carried reserves are generally not reoffered unless the reserve price is reduced. If you are unable to attend on a Monday or if your antiques are too large for you to bring then please contact us to arrange a convenient appointment. As our monthly sales are conducted live online, your items are guaranteed to attract the attention of a huge world wide audience.
