How it works
Get in touch
Ring, email, or just bring it into the shop. Photos on your phone are plenty to start with — no need to lug a dresser up the High Street.
We take a look
In the shop, or at your home for larger pieces and clearances. We'll tell you what it is, what it's worth, and why — in plain English.
A fair offer
Take it or leave it with no hard feelings. If you'd rather not sell, you'll at least go home knowing more about your piece than you arrived with.

House Clearances
Whole houses, handled properly
Clearing a family home is rarely just a job of work. We do it carefully and respectfully across Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset — the valuable identified and paid for fairly, the rest dealt with tidily, the keys back in your hand on time.
"If you'd rather not sell, you'll at least leave knowing what you've got."
That's the whole philosophy. Antiques only survive because someone, somewhere, was dealt with fairly enough to pass them on. We intend to keep it that way.
