Selling Gold & Jewellery - Farnham

A Valuation House That Knows What Farnham Owns

Farnham is an antiques town - a place where Georgian jewellery, good silver and period pieces have been bought, sold and inherited for generations. When it is your turn to sell, we bring a specialist eye rather than a scrap scale: period value, maker and provenance first, metal weight only where nothing more applies. Our Ascot office is around thirty minutes away, and we visit GU9 and GU10 by appointment.

Why Farnham clients choose us

A specialist conversation, not a transaction

  • Period pieces priced as period pieces

    A town with Farnham’s antiques heritage deserves better than melt-value offers. Georgian and Victorian jewellery, mourning pieces, early silver - we assess era, maker and condition against current auction results, and we tell you honestly when a piece would achieve more at auction than in a sale to us.

  • A cleaner alternative to selling through the trade

    Consigning to a dealer or auction means waiting months and paying commission; part-exchanging in an antiques shop means taking shop terms. Our offer is a net written figure, paid the same day you accept - and it costs nothing to put our number next to any other.

  • Built for the villages as much as the town

    Frensham, Churt, Tilford, Crondall, Bentley - the countryside around Farnham holds long-settled households and the jewellery that comes with them. Home visits by appointment are routine, and often the sensible route for collections or elderly relatives.

Farnham - Frequently Asked

Local questions, answered

  • I could sell through one of Farnham’s antiques dealers - why come to you?

    Speed and certainty, mainly. A dealer buys to resell, so their offer funds their margin and their patience; consignment can take months. We pay a net written figure the same day you accept. For pieces with genuine auction potential we say so plainly - sometimes the saleroom is the right answer, and you deserve to hear it before you sell anywhere.

  • How do you value Georgian and early pieces?

    On era, technique and honesty of condition - closed-back settings, foiled stones and early gold are scarce, and scarcity is value. We check comparable auction results rather than pricing by weight, and original cases or family history can add materially.

  • Do you buy silver - flatware canteens, tea services?

    Yes. Hallmarked silver is weighed against the live rate as a floor, and better makers, early dates and complete services are priced above it where the market supports it. Bring the whole canteen; part-services still carry value.

  • Can you come out to Frensham or Churt?

    Yes - the villages are comfortably inside our home-visit range, and for larger collections a visit is usually the best route. We arrange a specific time and bring identification; nothing leaves the house without written acknowledgement.
