Services
Mention an Auction and it conjures images of fast-talking auctioneers, adrenalin fuelled bidding and lots of drama. Whilst this can be part of the fun, it can also feel intimidating to new bidders. In reality bidding has become easier and is now accessible to all, whether you want to attend in person or bid from the comfort of your home online.
Clarke's can guide you through the entire auction process. Once we have determined that your property is appropriate for sale at auction, Richard Clarke and his staff will arrange every detail from collection, establishing estimates to cataloguing & photographing your lots and marketing it to prospective buyers worldwide.
Being a family run Auction House, we pride ourselves on being able to provide a more personal service whilst still having access to the same international buyers as the larger Auction Houses. All collections, valuations and auctions are handled by our small friendly team who have over 30 years' experience in the antique world.

I highly recommend Clarke's. Richard is very personable and went out of his way to make us as much as possible from the house contents that we needed to clear. Richard clearly loves his work, and is extremely knowlegable. I would say that Richard went above and beyond our expectations. Commission and charges were very reasonable in comparison to other local autioneers. Oh, and thank you Mrs Clarke for giving up part of your weekend to help with the furniture removal....

Having dealt with Clarke’s Auction since their inception I have nothing but praise for their honesty & efficiency. I would highly recommend them as a good venue whether as a buyer or seller, an honest & straightforward auction house who deal very well with the huge volume of quality items that pass through their hands on a monthly basis. No complaints at all.

I do not understand why auction houses that have 2 day auctions and then complain they are working too hard ,if they cannot cope, take on extra staff, there are thousands of unemployed people who would love the opportunity , but then Clarke's love to squeeze as much as they can out of buyers & sellers and also take advantage of no visits (due to covid )to pick up items . I bought a small picture and was charged £30.00 for delivery when it arrived in a old used Waitrose box with no ''Fragile ''stickers, the postage label from the post office stated £4.85 and they charged me £30 and that is on
