About us

 
Established in Sheffield, England since 1840 (originally ELR Auctions) we are the region's oldest Antique, Fine Art & Specialist Auctioneers and Valuers, offering a wealth of experience and specialist knowledge, together with professional advice and valuations for both buyers and sellers across a large range of regular Auctions.

In 2010 we underwent a substantial programme of expansion, constructing our own, modern, purpose-built Salerooms, re-branding and becoming the Sheffield Auction Gallery we are today. With an extensive team of Specialist Valuers, we offer free professional advice on all aspects of pre-Auction Valuation and Auction Sale.

In 2014 we expanded further, acquiring and incorporating A. E. Dowse & Son Limited, another very well established firm of Sheffield Auctioneers. We have continued to thrive, going from strength to strength, building infrastructure, growing technological advancements and expanding our dedicated team of professional valuers and increasing our range of specialist auctions.

We hold fortnightly auctions of Antiques & Collectables, Silver, Jewellery & Watches and a specialist Auction, plus monthly Specialist Collectable Toy Auctions, quarterly Antique & Fine Art, Silver, Jewellery and Watches Auctions, plus a monthly Saturday General auction.

Alongside our regular schedule we hold dedicated specialist auctions for Live Steam, Football Programmes & Sporting Memorabilia, Specialist Collectable Toys, Comics & Retro Gaming, Vinyl Records & Music Ephemera, Medals & Militaria plus Coins, Stamps and Postcards. Additional auctions for Cameras, Sheffield Made Knives, Vintage & Fine Wines & Spirits and Vintage & Designer Fashions are also part of our regular calendar.

Bringing items in for valuation couldn't be easier, we have a large purpose-built two storey Auction Gallery with large car park, disabled access and our team of specialist valuers are available weekdays from 10am to 4pm, happy to advise on all items for free, no obligation, pre-auction advice. Clients are guaranteed the highest levels of courtesy, impartiality, and confidentiality. So, be it a family heirloom or a large single-owner collection, contact us for further advice.

Our team hold many regular Valuation Days at the Gallery and at Specialist Events throughout Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, together with appearing at many charity events and County Shows with our exhibition trailer.
