I have sold and won beautiful pieces from Bentleys - the people are a huge reason for me travelling from London to Cranbrook in Kent.

Totally let down. Contacted them regarding furniture for consignment 3 weeks ago. Never heard anything back. Contacted them today to be told "there's nothing we can do". I move the end of this week and have been left totally lumbered. Very poor service and communication

I think they were affected during the last year. We had a nightmare with items going missing but later found. And a lack of feedback. We did get it sorted but not everything sold. Not the best experience but I doubt anyone is doing perfectly during covid.

Good honest auctioneer. Gave an estimate on items I wished to sell and the sale price was at the top estimate.
I recommend this auction house because of the diversity of products for sale and the staff are friendly and helpful with a professional attitude to ensure you are completely happy and understand the sales process.

I have just received delivery of another longcase that I have purchased from this auction house with which I am most pleased.
They supplied the requested information in a timely manner and executed my phone bid most professionally.
Highly recommended.

I have always been into antiques, especially furniture as it will last so much longer than any new furniture you get!
Built to last!
You can find all sorts of quirks and strange bits and bobs here (along with some rather usefully stuff as well)
You never know what you can come out with, from a rare turquoise base to a Picasso.
Friendly staff always there to help and the most higgeldy-pickeldy building!

A little stuffy, but great knowledgeable staff and always a good selection of quality items.
Have been coming here for years and very pleased with everything I have bought.
I will be back again for the next auction guys and thanks for all the help.
Cheers A...

Had a great experience with Bentleys at their last sale, good communication, quick to pay out and a good sale price. The atmosphere there is always great fun and they have such a varied selection of items for sale each month. I will definitely use them to sell through and buy from again.
