Sell Antiques, Collectables & Ceramics at Auction

Our Antiques, Collectables & Ceramics department specialises in the valuation and sale of high-quality antiques, decorative objects and fine ceramics. We are actively seeking consignments of rare, valuable and distinctive pieces for inclusion in our specialist auctions, which consistently achieve strong results across a wide range of categories.

We welcome consignments of glassware, porcelain, sculpture and much more, from celebrated artists and factories such as Clarice Cliff, Lalique and Royal Worcester - particularly the highly prized hand-painted examples by renowned artists such as Charles Baldwyn, the Stinton family and others from the early 20th century.

Antique metalware from renowned metalworkers like Mappin & Webb, Elkington & Co and Walker & Hall always achieve strong results, as well as Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau pieces, including decorative items by the Keswick School of Industrial Art, Liberty & Co, Christopher Dresser and similar period designers known for their craftsmanship and artistic innovation.

Our ceramics team has in-depth knowledge spanning a broad spectrum of British and Continental pottery and porcelain, ranging from the 18th century and earlier to 21st-century contemporary pieces. From historic English factories such as Worcester, Bow, Chelsea, Rockingham, and Lowestoft to renowned Continental makers like Meissen, Dresden, Sèvres, and Vienna, our auctions reflect a rich diversity of styles and periods. We also regularly showcase more modern names, including Moorcroft, Royal Crown Derby, the Staffordshire potteries, Troika, John Egerton, and Hylton Nel - to name but a few. Our auctions cover a wide breadth of periods, styles and makers.

Our expertise in Oriental ceramics continues to yield exceptional results, with recent examples of porcelain from the Ming, Qing and Kangxi dynasties, as well as the Edo and Kakiemon periods, performing particularly well. Pieces of rarity and fine condition - particularly those in the classic famille rose, jaune, noire and verte patterns, alongside traditional blue and white porcelain - remain highly sought after, and we also see a strong market for Chinese Export pieces, such as Imari and Kraak porcelain. Our global reach ensures that these items are marketed to the right audience, including seasoned international collectors and institutional buyers.

Our team of experienced antiques specialists provides accurate appraisals, detailed cataloguing and professional photography, ensuring each item is marketed to its full potential. With a strong online presence, live bidding platforms, and a loyal base of UK and international buyers, Dugglebys is well-positioned to deliver consistent, top-tier results for you.

Whether you are selling a single heirloom or a complete collection, we offer a personalised service tailored to your needs. Contact our team today for a free, no-obligation valuation or to discuss entering your items into one of our upcoming auctions.
