Silver and Works of Art Expert

Martin McIlroy heads this large and diverse department. Consultants and assistant cataloguers also provide invaluable input and Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood are well known in the Fine Art world for offering accurately catalogued and desirable objects, which are fresh to market. Regular auctions of Railwayana and Collectables are also part of this department's busy schedule.

The variety of items that come under the heading 'collectable' grows annually: ivories, bronzes, clocks, medals, musical instruments, arms and armour, garden statuary, toys, dolls, stamps, post and cigarette cards, books, wines - the list verges upon the infinite.

If you have an item you believe to be valuable, you can take advantage of our 'free verbal advice' service either at home or by bringing the articles to our saleroom. Collectors can be found for even the most obscure articles and whatever you wish to sell, Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood can help you present it to discerning buyers worldwide.
