Valuations
At Isabel Murtough & Co we offer a wide range of valuation services.
From single items through to complete collections and household contents.
We provide impartial valuations on all areas of jewellery, silver, antiques, art and collectables.
Whether you're looking to release equity tied up in your antiques, or jewellery no longer worn, moving house and looking to free up some much needed space, or managing the estate of a loved one and are unsure of what may hold value, we can assist at every step of the journey.
If you have an item you are considering selling then the the world of auctions and private sales can feel intimidating. At Isabel Murtough & Co we are experienced antique brokers offering trusted independent advice on how, where and when to sell your item in order to get the best possible price.

Auctions
We can act on your behalf if you’re looking to sell by auction. We source the right sale room to sell your items, as some pieces may require a specialist sale in order to maximise the sale price.
Private Sales
We arrange private sales between individuals. Having worked in the antiques world for nearly two decades, we have built an invaluable client base of buyers, and can secure high prices without either party having to pay auction fees.
Why use a broker rather than going directly to the auction house?
We take the stress and unknown out of the process, dealing with all questions and queries, and ensuring a smooth sale whilst liaising with you throughout.
sell to us
We buy all types of gold, jewellery and silver.
With an honest and knowledgeable service you can be sure you're getting the best price for your items.
Once a price is agreed, you will receive instant funds straight to your bank account, without having to wait weeks for the proceeds from auction. There are no auction fees to pay and we pay a higher rate than the high street ‘scrap’ price.
As our reputation is our highest priority, we won’t take advantage of your circumstances. We are reliable, honest and local professionals who aim to provide the best service.

Yes! Just because your items aren’t deemed ‘antique’, it doesn’t mean they’re not sought after, or don’t hold value.
Did you know that the hottest market at the moment is mid-century modern?
We can give valuations on any items, no matter their age or genre.
-
We have been in the business long enough to know that it is worth looking at everything people want to have valued. Sometimes it is the pieces destined for the skip or charity shop that are worth the most.
We are approachable, friendly and always happy to help, so please do get in touch.
