Mixed Lot


It is an excellent time to sell antique costume and fine jewellery. In fact, there has probably never been a better time. That is partly because the price of gold and silver remains high, and partly because of the increasing importance we place on individuality. Buyers want something different and are prepared to pay a premium for it.
We offer free valuations and advice with regard to antiques and valuables and I was particularly pleased to be asked to consider a collection of antique jewellery brought into us yesterday, a stunning array that includes Victorian brooches and rings and later 1920's including an exquisite Art Deco turquoise bracelet. We have been instructed to sell the collection and hope to provide more information on that soon.
Another lot to look out for, that will be in our sale next week, is a stunning 9ct gold slim Asprey's pocket watch - again, pictures soon. Asprey's are one of those magical names, much sought-after and collected. What is a 9ct gold slim Asprey's pocket watch worth? Why not come along to our sale on the 10th February and find out?
It's The Cloisters Fair today at St Andrew's Hall - who knows what will come in for our auction next week? All I know is that it could be anything - anything at all. My favourite though has to be, and always will be, the headless skeleton...
Postscript - by the way, I am on Twitter - not that I really understand or get the hang of Twitter yet - so do follow me on there (garyofnorwich)!
