We regularly appraise and sell Silver Objects and Collections. From Silver Flatware to Novelty Items you never know what might pop up in one of our sales. Your unwanted silver items could hold much more value than you think. A very high global silver market and equally strong antiques & collectors market means that silver is currently selling extremely well at auction. From small novelty pieces to large tea sets and cutlery sets. Let our team arrange the sale and ensure your silver items achieve the prices they should!
Our XRF analysis provides buyers and vendors with complete confidence by accurately verifying the purity and authenticity of silver items, eliminating guesswork, hidden issues, or misrepresentations — ensuring every transaction is fair, transparent, and based on scientifically proven results.
Our team is able to give quick and accurate valuations on silver items. Whether you have a handful of items or collectors’ cabinets bursting with silver vases, bowls and curios. We can either give a valuation from seeing photos of the items or we can arrange a date and time for one of the team to come and visit your property in order to conduct a valuation of your collection. Rest assured, our experienced team has up to date knowledge of current market trends and will be able to identify and give accurate estimates on potential auction values. There can be a conversation about reserve prices and then we can get your silver items entered and sold at one of our upcoming auctions.
