The reserve price
We usually recommend that your goods
are sold at the auctioneers's discretion, which gives us a 10%
leeway on the lower estimate printed in the catalogue.
Alternatively we are happy to agree a fixed reserve price below
which we will not sell.

lot numbers of your property and a complimentary illustrated
catalogue, usually about two weeks before the sale. You are
of course welcome to come to the view or attend the auction if you
wish.

hours of the auction and settlement is usually made four weeks
after the sale, subject to normal business conditions.
