As one of the oldest professions, the art of auctioneering is a fine balance between nurturing a strong private pool of collectors and trade buyers and adding to it a global audience which is developed through the various internet outlets where all of our sales are advertised.
An ever present buoyancy, atmosphere and spark in our saleroom generates a platform which creates keen enthusiasm amongst our buyers at Hansons to compete for lots thus maximising financial returns to our sellers.
A well marketed sale adds status to our clients objects which frequently merits global press. This in turn brings exhiliarating results.
Highlights have included a rare pair of bloomers which belonged to Queen Victoria and sold for £5,000. A pair of stockings, the property of Her Majesty Queen Victoria in 1880 sold for £8,000. An early Sooty puppet from the early 1950s which generated interest from the Sooty Show sold for £3,000 and a Chinese vase (pictured on the right) that sold for a house record £192,000 in 2011.
