What We Buy

We buy quality furniture, jewellery, collectables and distinctive pieces from inherited homes. From antique sideboards and mid-century design to vintage toys and quality hi-fi, we’re interested in items with character, craftsmanship or lasting appeal.

Whether you have one item, a collection or a house containing suitable pieces, send us photographs and we’ll let you know if we can make a purchase offer.

Jewellery, Gold & Silver

Gold and silver jewellery, rings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, coins and solid silver items. We also consider selected vintage and designer costume jewellery.

If possible, include close-up photographs of any hallmarks or maker’s marks.

Quality Hi-Fi & Audio Equipment

Quality amplifiers, turntables, speakers, receivers, CD players and complete hi-fi separates systems, including vintage and modern equipment.

Please include the brand, model number and whether the equipment works. Remotes, cables, manuals and original boxes are helpful.

Cameras, Lenses & Premium Electronics

Quality cameras, lenses, photographic equipment and selected premium electronics, including home cinema equipment, high-end headphones and recent premium computers.

Our interest depends on the exact model, age, condition and working order. Please send model details with your photographs.

Art, Lighting & Unusual Objects

Paintings, prints, sculptures, distinctive lamps, mirrors, vintage signs, folk art and unusual decorative objects.

We also consider selected studio pottery, art glass and ceramics with distinctive design or craftsmanship.

Images are illustrative examples of the kinds of items that may interest us, not stock we own or items we have previously bought.

Is My Item Suitable?

We buy selectively, based on the individual item, condition and current demand. Age, brand or original purchase price alone does not determine whether we can make an offer.

Everyday crockery, standard dinner services, common mass-produced ornaments, basic stereos and older everyday televisions are generally less likely to suit us. However, we may consider unusual examples or interesting collections.

If you’re unsure, send a few photographs. You don’t need to identify the maker or know the item’s value before getting in touch.

Have Several Rooms or a Whole Collection?

You don’t need to photograph everything individually to get started. Send clear photographs of each room or collection, followed by close-ups of any particularly interesting pieces.

We can consider selected items, collections or larger groups of suitable contents. If the items and location are a good fit, we can arrange a buying visit.

Need Help With What’s Left?

If you also need the remaining contents cleared, we can arrange a separate clearance quotation through our clearance service. Any purchase offer and clearance charge will be clearly explained.
