Clocks
Time is certainly money in this department.
For centuries, mankind has been obsessed with time. In today’s busy world we now have references to time everywhere, even on our telephones, with an accuracy our forefathers could only dream of.
However, as a result of our forefather’s endeavours, we see a large number of clocks at our auctions. They come in all shapes, sizes and materials.
All of our auctions use live internet bidding platforms to ensure that every lot, whether it is worth £20 or £500,000, reaches the widest possible market and sells for the best price possible. In the run up to an auction we receive 100’s of emails requesting further information for lots in the sale. Attached to these email replies, we regularly send well over 1,000 digital images, such is the huge interest generated in our auctions.
