Our works of art department covers a diverse range of sculpture, vertu items and hand crafted pieces in a range of materials; this can range from pre-historic artefacts and antiquities to tribal art and 20th century handicrafts. Works of art forms a sub-section of 200-300 lots in each of bi-monthly Fine Art sales. Our specialist Daniel Wright is a highly experienced valuer, well versed in the research required for cataloguing this broad department and where required we use consultants to assist with identification.
