Quality entries invited for next sale

We hope to have our best ever sale on 12th August at St Andrew's Hall in Norwich and we are appealing to everyone who has supported us with both the auction and the antique fair, to help make this one extra special.

Our auction started back in 2008 and has gone from strength to strength. We are very close to announcing an expansion in the business that will include moving to two auctions a month and occasional specialist sales. We just need one more push and hope that, with your help, we might just do it.

We are inviting quality entries for our 12th August sale. In particular:
1) Antique fine and costume jewellery
2) Gold and silver items
3) Coins and medals
4) Clocks and watches
5) Decorative antiques
6) Quality pottery, porcelain, and glass
7) Militaria
8) Postcards and stamps

I believe that we provide an excellent bespoke service that really does get results. Some recent examples:
1) Carved polychrome figure of a cherub - £475 (8th July 2010)
2) Victorian claret jug with silver-plated top - £85 (8th July 2010)
3) Mixed lot of art prints - £150 (8th July 2010)
4) Approx 75-80 Matchbox cars - £750 (8th July 2010)
5) Silver stationery box A/F - £130 (10th June 2010)
6) Hand painted wall plaque of Staffordshire Bull Terrier - £190 (10th June 2010)
7) Silver service 1924 Cooper Bros - £420 (13th May 2010)
8) Jaeger travel alarm clock - £210 (13th May 2010)
9) Victoria shield back gold sovereign - £185 (8th April 2010)
10) Gold proof Entente Cordiale - £950 (8th April 2010)

What's more, we charge just 10% inclusive buying premium on sales, which means that you get to keep much more of your money. Our £1 lotting fee is also highly competitive.  Typically, on a £100 sale, you would actually collect around just £78 from most auction houses. On a £100 sale with us you would net £89.

We are accepting lots for our next auction all day tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday of this week at St Andrew's Hall. We will also be accepting lots all day next Tuesday (10th) and Wednesday (11th). If none of these days suit please do telephone and we can arrange to meet you at another time

Best wishes
