“We know from past experience that there are absolute gems just waiting to be discovered in North Wales,” said Maryanne.
“Obviously, we are looking for items to sell in our future auctions, but we offer free valuations without an obligation to sell.
“Receiving an up-to-date valuation of silver, jewellery, watches, pictures and antiques is very important for homeowners, as they will not want to be underinsured in the unfortunate event of having to make a claim.”
Halls Fine Art’s latest auctions including a gold coin collection from Mid Wales coast which sold for £19,000, and an 1551 Mathew Bible which made £6,500.
In March, two diamond rings sold for £13,500 and £10,000, a rare Rolex watch that was owned and worn by Spanish maritime pioneer Vital Alsar made £10,000, and a Scottish landscape painting by Sidney Richard Percy (1821-1886), sold for £8,000.
Works by Welsh artist Sir Kyffin Williams, OBE (1918-2006) sell well at Halls Fine Art alongside paintings by Charles Tunnicliffe, David Cox, David Bates, Paul Martinez-Frias, Charles White, Tom Gerrard, Terence Lambert and William Selwyn.
“Works by Welsh artists sell really well in Shrewsbury and we have a lot of Wales-based buyers on our database,” said Abigail.
“I would really love to see some nice contemporary art by the like of Shani Rhys James.”
Anyone wishing to have collections or large antiques valued may take along photographs to show the specialists who may arrange an appointment for a home visit.
Those unable to attend the valuation event but wishing to have items valued can contact the fine art team.
