Important News 

Due to increasing coronavirus restrictions in Lancashire we have come to the conclusion we cannot safely conduct 'live' auctions, particularly the Wednesday Rediscovery sale, and the gathering of customers which that involves.  

So Silverwoods is taking the opportunity to change both our calendar of auctions in 2021 and offer new and existing customers more choice and flexibility in obtaining valuation and appraisals.  A greater emphasis will be on the display of lots  to be offered auction and viewing by potential buyers. Changes are already in place to divide the salesroom into exhibition halls.  Please note the following:

• The next Online timed Auction will end on Sunday 13th December (full details and viewing times below)
  
• Valuation and Appraisal of objects will now be by appointment but on any weekday (Call 01200 423322 to do so)
• All objects accepted for sale will be entered in the Fine Art, Furniture & Antiques catalogue for the timed online auction beginning on the 2nd December.
• Please see our new policies regarding appraisal, valuation and selection of objects for auction. here
• Soon we will be announcing a new programme of online 'timed' auctions from New Year onwards.

Viewing of Lots

Fine Art & Special Sales

Silverwoods will now be placing emphasis on the display of lots in auction catalogues creating an emporium, of galleria of antiques, furniture and fine art within exhibition 'rooms'. Vendors, therefore, can be assured their items are displayed in the best way and for Buyers to see items in context; rather merely on racks. In 2021 we will be moving to viewing periods every weekday when customers can see for themselves the next catalogue developing with new lots. In the meantime and for the sale in December the viewing times will be as follows:

Monday 7th    12 noon - 5.0pm
