VALUATION ROADSHOW

By Simon Chorley

Of Simon Chorley Art and Antiques

Starting at 1 pm

Ever wondered how much that piece of china in your attic might be worth?

Or your favourite painting?

Or that piece of jewellery you love to wear?

This is a rare opportunity to discuss your antiques individually with an expert to discover how and when objects were created, their rarity and most importantly, their value.

Any object considered for a fee of just £2 and all on your doorstep. Don’t miss out! Professional valuations like this will normally cost you a lot more.
