Our fabulous 6th December Fine Jewellery auction featured gorgeous pieces of jewellery, including an impressive Georgian Cameo rivière and a rare Carved Opal by Wilhelm Schmidt, who was the most important opal cameo carver of the C19th. The auction also included beautiful examples of contemporary jewellery, Art Deco delights and the always popular Victorian Jewellery.

From the antique to the contemporary, the March auction is the perfect opportunity to sell those pieces that you no longer wear. We are passionate about jewellery and will show case your jewellery to our clients, viewing highlights in London and Harrogate to ensure the greatest of results. We look forward to talking to you about your jewellery.

Lee Young, Managing Director of Dore & Rees, took over the auction rooms in May 2021 and under his leadership the auction rooms have been revitalised and gone from strength to strength.

Dore & Rees is fast making a name for itself as the perfect sale room to host boutique collection sales, a prime example being The John Sieverdink Collection auction held on 2nd March during which market leading prices were achieved for paintings by Edward Seago.

Lee said: “I am delighted that Susan has chosen to partner with Dore & Rees, we both share a strong commitment to delivering tailored services for our clients underpinned by deep subject knowledge – it’s a perfect fit! It’s a coup for Dore & Rees to be offering such high grade professional jewellery expertise to our clients and we are excited to launch the auctions in July” .
