Jewellery
Charterhouse hold four specialist jewellery, watch and silver auctions per year which are always very well attended by both members of the public and the trade, ensuring constant impressive results and a very high selling rate. Each piece will be valued with the care that this most sentimental subject matter deserves and will be placed in the most suitable auction. Our specialists have many years of experience in the field and are fully conversant with all types of jewellery whether it be Georgian paste, Victorian Etruscan revival by Castellani, the exquisite quality of Belle Époque Cartier, the 1960s Scandinavian designers, a certificated diamond or inherited family heirlooms.
Valuations for auction, probate, family division or insurance can be carried out in-house, at a client’s home for larger collections or at a safe deposit facility.
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 100s 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.

Fabulous Necklace at Charterhouse
A rare Arts & Crafts necklace, discovered on a jewellery valuation day at The Long Street Salerooms, is being sold by Charterhouse in Sherborne in their specialist jewellery auction on Thursday 31st October.
“Quite honestly, this is the most wonderful necklace I have seen in 40 years of auctioneering.” Commented Richard Bromell. “Despite being made of silver and not gold or platinum, the design, quality and condition of this piece is outstanding.”
The necklace is almost certainly designed by Charles Robert Ashbee. In its original fitted Guild of Handicrafts leather and silk box, it dates to circa 1900 and is estimated at £1,000-2,000.
Charterhouse are now accepting further entries for this auction of jewellery, silver and watches, followed by Asian art.
