We specialise in the valuation of fine art, jewellery, antiques, decorative items and general household contents.

Established in 1986, customer satisfaction and the quality of our work is our highest priority. We are fully independent, offering impartial advice with no conflict of interest.

As a result of our impeccable security record and professionalism we are highly recommended by our private clients and all high net worth insurance companies, brokers and law firms.
