Valuations
Saleroom valuations and auction advice are completely free of charge and without obligation. If you have an item(s) that you wish to have valued please contact us by telephone, post or e-mail. In order to provide an accurate valuation, photographs of the item, details of its condition and history or provenance are always beneficial.
Convery Auctions Ltd travel throughout the UK so it may be possible to organise a  home visit or to meet you in person at one of our valuation days held at venues throughout the country. Dates for these valuation days will be posted on the website and advertised in local press.
