We’re always looking for that item of rarity, exclusivity, peculiarity or intrigue to include in our auctions.
Collectors' items are very diverse and feature antiquities, tribal artefacts, treen, works of art, bronze sculptures, antique samplers, vintage toys and decorative objects.
You will often find rare items for sale at our Fine Sales and our Interiors sales from the esoteric to those of more popular appeal. Collectors’ items for sale feature in a dedicated section in our Fine Sale which takes place four times a year.
