Objets d’art

Philip Serrell Auctioneers have seen extraordinary growth in the decorative market over recent years, and the objets d’art category always holds a good selection of interesting items.

Toys, dolls and collectables are also represented in our sales with national and international interest in this category. Metalware includes bronzes and often a good selection of Arts & Crafts copper and brass.

We hold valuation days every three weeks by appointment and would be happy to give you a free auction appraisal.
