Based in two very different Derbyshire locations our salerooms offer one thing in common, a great service and a fun antiques buying or selling experience. Our Derby auction house is only three turns from London, set alongside the A52, it offers three salerooms and nine departments, all under one roof. Our Rowsley saleroom just outside Bakewell in the Peak District National Park is thought to be the only auction house located in an out of town shopping centre, with over 750 car parking spaces, on-site restaurant and shops, buying and selling at auction has never been easier or more pleasurable.
For deliveries, both sites have easy unloading/loading facilities, however if you require help our dedicated team of experienced haulage staff and vehicles can assist.
