Viewing of Lots

Fine Antiques, Furniture & Collectables

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.  During C19 restrictions arrangements for viewing will be by appointment, advertised on this website.

Rediscovery: Antiques Furniture and Memorabilia.

Viewing arrangements will be by appointment on days prior to the sale as advertised here.

Architectural Salvage, Rural & Domestic Bygones

All lots are now to be displayed in the 'bottom' building of the main auction. Viewing for the full catalogue of this sale will be 9.00 - 5.00pm Wednesday - Friday during the 'bidding' week

Arrangements during C-19 restrictions

Sadly the national coronavirus restrictions look to continue through February and into March .  However we were delighted with the outcome of the recent December Fine Furniture, Antiques and Collectables by 'timed' online catalogue with furniture in particular attracting higher values than we have come to expect in recent years.  

Despite the restrictions, Silverwoods will continue providing customers with a full calendar of online auctions in 2021 via the-saleroom.com, or auctionmarts.com. Also we offer new and existing customers more choice and flexibility in obtaining valuations and appraisals. As restrictions lift, you will see our greater emphasis on the display of lots being offered at auction and more convenient viewing for potential buyers. By Spring we hope once again to conduct some  traditional 'live' gathering auctions.
