Choosing a reputable, knowledgeable valuer, can make a significant impact on your auction experience and the success of your sale. Here at Hutchinson Scott, we offer a free valuation service. This can be done by emailing us with a picture of your antique, bringing it to us or we do also offer the ability to view larger collections in person. This personalised approach not only ensures accuracy when it comes to valuing your items but also instils confidence, assurance and clarity. Within this post we discuss the importance of a professional valuation, how they help to avoid under or over valuing your item and the true benefits a reputable valuer and auction house bring.
An independent valuer will provide an unbiased, professional opinion on what your item is worth. Factors that are considered include its condition, age, market demand and historical significance. This expert opinion is invaluable and is the only way to obtain a realistic yet competitive valuation and therefore auction price for your antique. If you choose to not obtain a professional independent valuation, then you are at risk of under and or over pricing the item; and therefore, potentially not selling at all.
An experienced and knowledgeable valuer will also be able to give you a robust and solid understanding of your item, its history, age, historical importance, the demand for prospective buyers and its potential market value, all making sure that you are prepared to set a competitive reserve price at auction, having a sale price in mind.
By choosing to use the services of a professional valuer from an antique house, we will guide you on the cleaning, restoration and preservation requirements and efforts that are required to ensure you obtain maximum value. This will make
sure that your item is the best it possibly can be for auction and means that you do not make unnecessary alterations that could diminish the value. Our independent valuations help sellers maximise the value of their item by offering a clear and accurate valuation that reflects the condition, age, demand, market conditions and true potential of the item being sold.
Professional Valuations Help Avoid Under or Over Restoration and Preserve ValueYou may be sitting at home looking at an antique item that you want to sell and thinking it just needs a good clean and polish. You are more than likely not wrong but this is truly where the expertise of an independent valuer is critical as their role is about determining the appropriate level of restoration and cleaning that is needed. Over restoration can damage the authenticity and originality which can potentially reduce its value whilst under restoration which can leave it in a potentially poor condition, making it less appealing to buyers.
A skilled valuer will assess the condition of the item and provide guidance on whether cleaning and or restoration is necessary and to what extent. This approach will make sure that your item maintains its originality and historical integrity but be presented in the best way it can be and be auction ready, maximising its value and potential at auction.

![](<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Selling antiques at auction can be an incredibly rewarding experience and a great way to unlock the value of treasured possessions, or those you have purchased but no longer need or want. Making sure you get the most out of the auction selling experience and maximising the value of your antique requires research and careful preparation. From understanding market trends to choosing the right auction house and presenting your items attractively, every step plays a role in ensuring you achieve the best possible outcome.<img style="float: right;" src="https://hutchinsonscott.bidpath.cloud/main/isaac-young-liverpool-mahogany-longcase-clock.png" alt="" /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this post, we cover the key steps in selling at auction, from receiving an accurate valuation to understanding your role on auction day. We outline typical seller fees, like commission and insurance, so you can gauge any potential profits from the items you are listing. You)
When selling antiques and pieces at auction, taking the time to receive an accurate valuation is key as it gives you a clear understanding of what your antiques are worth and so you can set a realistic reserve and asking price as a result. However, without a proper valuation, you risk under (or over) valuing your items and potentially missing out on selling them and maximising their value, or not selling it at all due to the inaccurate valuation and deterring potential buyers.
Professional antique valuers like those at Hutchinson Scott consider factors such as age, rarity and condition of your item, as well as market trends, which are all elements that can impact the value and selling capability of your item. A professional valuation will give you expert insight and peace of mind that your item has been valued accurately. An accurate valuation is not just about understanding the true value of your item, it is also there to help you set a suitable reserve price which is all about protecting your antique from being sold for less than its worth.
At Hutchinson Scott we offer a free online valuation service. It couldn’t be easier; simply upload an image of the antique and send any information you would like included in the listing and we will get back to you as soon as we can with a valuation. Additonally, a specialist can also visit your property, free of charge to value larger items and or collections of items.
An essential part of selling at auction is understanding auction fees, as this fundamentally has an impact on how much profit you make. At all auction houses there is a sellers fee. At Hutchinson Scott this is 10% of the hammer price plus VAT. This seller fee covers the auction house's services for selling your items, including marketing, administration, and the actual auction.
In addition to the seller fee, there is also an insurance fee. This varies from auction to auction but at Hutchinson Scott it is 1% insurance charge. The insurance fee is applied to cover the item while it's in the auction house's possession. It is important to contact the auction house and ascertain what charges there are, so you are fully informed from the beginning, and you can accurately calculate your potential profit.
Finally it is important to mention that if your item doesn’t sell, you won’t incur these fees. We would recommend finding out this information at the auction house you are selling through, prior to agreeing to sell your item with them; so, to not incur unexpected costs.
Making sure that your item is prepared for the auction is key to maximising the value, and ensure it is sold for the highest possible amount at auction. Part of this preparation involves cleaning and restoring your item if necessary. We know that cleaning anything improves its appearance but over cleaning or cleaning with the wrong products and improper methods can have a detrimental effect on the item, damaging original features and therefore potentially reducing its value.
At Hutchinson Scott we recommend seeking professional advice before cleaning your item. This can be done on line or please contact our team, and we will happily discuss your item with you and what we recommend. If your item is old or delicate and needs antique restoration, this can sometimes increase its worth, as well as making sure it looks its very best for auction, but if the restoration isn’t done right then this may cause damage to the item, devalue it or even detract from its authenticity.
Just like seeking guidance on cleaning your item, we recommend you consult with experts to understand whether a full restoration is necessary. For both cleaning and restoration, research, guidance and proper preparation, combined with expert guidance, will make sure that your antique is the best it can possibly be, maximising your chances of a successful and profitable sale.
The reserve is the minimum price you are willing to accept to sell your piece for. Setting a realistic reserve price is about attracting interest for your item and also making sure that you sell your item for its true value. Setting a reserve too high means that you are at risk of deterring potential bidders and not gaining any interest or selling your item.
It is important that you contact the auction house you wish to sell through as they are experts and can assess current market trends and interest levels as well as your item's condition; all to determine an appropriate reserve. At Hutchinson Scott we believe in a fair and achievable reserve as this will create interest, encourage bidding, and ultimately maximise the sale potential of your item.
If you’re looking to sell your antique and maximise its value, then preparation is key. Accurate valuations, understanding seller fees, cleaning and restoring your item and setting a realistic reserve are all elements that we know will help you maximise value and achieve the best possible return. Hutchinson Scott are a trusted name in the auction world and over the years they we have built up a reputation for their expertise and knowledge. We are here to guide you through selling your antiques and to make sure that you have the right information to navigate the process from start to finish.

Ultimately, it provides you with an accurate estimate of your antique’s value based on current market trends as well as its unique condition </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">and history</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Experienced valuers have in-depth knowledge of different types of antiques from different periods of time, ensuring the valuation you receive is well-informed. They also have access to various resources enabling them to compare your antique with similar items previously sold at auctions. This comprehensive analysis ensures you get a realistic understanding of what your antique is worth. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s worth noting that professional valuers can also reveal hidden details about your item, such as its historical significance or unique provenance, which can enhance its value. The insight they provide can make a significant difference when it comes to selling your antique.</span></p><h2><strong>Benefits of Independent Antique Valuations</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When finding out how much your antiques are worth, it’s highly recommended that you turn to an independent valuer to ensure you get the most accurate and fair assessment of your items.

While this might seem convenient, their valuations can often be biassed. Buyers might undervalue your item to get a better deal and this is one of the main reasons why getting an independent valuation is essential. An unbiased professional can provide an accurate valuation, ensuring you get a fair price.</span></p><ul><li aria-level="1"><strong>Expert Knowledge</strong></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As touched on above, independent antique valuers have extensive knowledge and expertise in various types of antiques.

During the valuation this is something which could be discussed with the experts and they can guide you as to whether it is necessary or could help in increasing it’s value. We recommend checking this with experts before undertaking any work to avoid damage or potentially lowering the value to the item.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p><ul><li aria-level="1"><strong>Accurate Market Value</strong></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="float: left;" src="https://hutchinsonscott.bidpath.cloud/main/japanese-period-gilt-sculpture.png" alt="" />An independent valuation will ensure you receive an accurate evaluation of your antique)

From finding the right auction house, to obtaining a truthful valuation and setting realistic expectations on what your item could sell, every decision matters and can impact your end goal.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this blog, we guide you through the essential steps to take to maximise your success when selling at an auction. We will discuss how to obtain a strong valuation, explore restoration options, if necessary, and setting a realistic reserve that will encourage competitive bidding. With the expert guidance of our team, you can make your auction experiences rewarding and secure the best value for your items.</span></p><h2><strong>What Does Success Mean to You?</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Success, when you are selling an item at an auction is about achieving the best possible outcome for your items. To achieve this, it must start with an accurate valuation, so you fully understand the true worth of your item. Taking the time to restore your item if needed can significantly improve an appearance, appeal and increase its value. Setting a realistic reserve protects your interests and items whilst encouraging competition and people making bids. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is important to acknowledge that success can mean different things to different people and it doesn’t always have to be about the money you make from the sale of your item. For some, it may be about finding the right trusted auction house to use on this occasion and also for future items, for others it may be about finding the right buyer for your piece so you have the peace of mind you need that it is going to a great home, or it may be about your item reaching its full potential and you receiving the maximum amount for it. The key is achieving the best outcome based on your own goals and expectations.</span></p><h2><strong>The Importance of Valuations</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="float: left;" src="https://hutchinsonscott.bidpath.cloud/main/louise-vuitton-sirius-travel-bag.png" alt="" />Valuations can sometimes be missed or not thought about at all, but the truth is that valuations are the foundation to a successful auction sale as they offer a clear understanding of an item’s worth. It really doesn’t matter what the item is that you are intending to sell, a </span><a href="https://www.hutchinsonscott.co.uk/valuation/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">professional valuation</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> offers you an informed estimate of an item’s market value based on its current condition, uniqueness, and demand.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For someone who is wishing to sell an item at auction, accurate valuations are essential for setting reserves, which act as the minimum acceptable bid. An item that is valued too high will easily deter bidders from taking the time to explore and look at the item, whilst undervaluing an item could mean losing out on potential buyers due to a lack of perceived value, which can lead to lower bids and therefore you not maximising success and profit. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here at Hutchinson Scott, we understand that a thorough valuation attracts serious buyers as it gives them confidence that you are taking the process seriously </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">and that</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> your item is legitimate and worth what it has been valued at</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">That is why we</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> offer a free professional valuation service that is conducted by experts who have extensive industry knowledge. </span></p><h2><strong>Restoration</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taking the time to understand if your item needs </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">to be</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> restored and actually restoring an item before you sell it at auction can significantly improve how others view your item, its appeal and also how much it is valued at and therefore how much you could sell it for. Careful restoration is about enhancing appearance and protecting and preserving your items original charm </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">whilst</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> correcting any damage there may be. An item that has been restored not only attracts more attention from buyers but can also result in higher bids. We recommend you consult with a restoration expert if you think your item needs restoring </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">so that they can see if it is necessary</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and to make sure that the work is done professionally. </span></p><h2><strong>Setting Realistic Reserves<img style="float: right;" src="https://hutchinsonscott.bidpath.cloud/main/late-georgian-bristol-green-glass-cups-james-giles.png" alt="" /></strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Setting a realistic reserve is one of the main critical elements to a successful sale at auction. The reserve is the minimum acceptable bid that you will accept and is there to protect your item’s value whilst encouraging potential buyers to bid. If you set the reserve too high you are at risk of deterring interest, whereas if you set a reserve too low you are at risk of undervaluing your item. Hutchinson Scott recommends that you base your reserve on an accurate valuation and therefore striking that perfect balance between maximising your success, understanding the market demand and making sure that your item achieves its best possible result at auction.</span></p><h2><strong>Sell Your Item Through Hutchinson Scott </strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you looking for a reputable and trusted auction house?

![How to Identify and Sell Valuable Antiques](<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At </span><a href="https://www.hutchinsonscott.co.uk/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hutchinson Scott</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, we know that valuable antiques often lie in the most unexpected places. Pieces that have been sitting unused in your loft or in forgotten corners of your home could hold significant value for others, collectors and antique<img style="float: right;" src="https://hutchinsonscott.bidpath.cloud/main/royal-worcester-cabinet-vases-james-stinton.png" alt="" /> enthusiasts. Perhaps you have a vintage clock, a set of fine china, or an elegant piece of furniture that no longer has a place in your life. Every piece has a story, history and its own uniqueness and your unused piece might just be the ideal find for someone else. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have created this blog to explore how you can identify valuable antiques in your home, how we can help you sell them and make sure they find a new home where they will be revered. Whether you are looking to have a clear out, declutter, or you simply want to see your items being appreciated and going to a new home, here at Hutchinson Scott, we can guide you through the process of getting your pieces valued, advertised and ultimately sold at auction. </span></p><h2><strong>Identifying Valuable Antiques in Your Home</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some may be surprised to know that identifying an antique doesn’t necessarily require expert knowledge, just an eye for quality and craftsmanship. At Hutchinson Scott we have extensive experience of sourcing and identifying antiques, helping you uncover hidden treasures you may not have realised you owned. Whether it’s furniture, art, ceramics, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">clocks, glassware, watches, silver, bronzes, automobilia, walking sticks</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, or jewellery, our specialists can provide insights into an item’s history, value, and potential market interest and have compiled the below information to help you get started;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style="float: left;" src="https://hutchinsonscott.bidpath.cloud/main/late-regency-purple-heart-workbox.png" alt="" /></span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Start by looking for items in your home that are well made. These may be old pieces that have been gathering dust, but if they are still in good condition and have stood the test of time this is a great indicator that they could be valuable or have some value to them. Items crafted with care and that have been created using quality materials often retain their value over the years. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pay attention to craftsmanship details like solid wood construction, detailed and intricate carvings, or unique finishes, as these elements can significantly improve the desirability amongst collectors and people who visit our auctions. It doesn’t matter if these pieces have been hidden or tucked away for years, their potential could be huge and there may be someone who has been looking for that exact piece for years at one of our auctions. </span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have items of furniture in your home that may have been hidden away or realise you just don’t need them anymore, take the time to see if they are of a solid construction and quality craftsmanship. Look for details like strong joints, quality wood, and well made upholstery if there is any as these are signs, your item could be of some value as well as offering its next owner a solid and beautifully crafted piece. Older<img style="float: right;" src="https://hutchinsonscott.bidpath.cloud/main/19th-century-italian-ebonised-ivory-inland-cabinet.png" alt="" /> furniture that has been carefully crafted can be highly sought after by collectors and antique enthusiasts. It may be worth more than you think. </span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Antique clocks, vintage jewellery, porcelain, and fine china all can hold significant value as well as interest, especially if they have distinctive markings or are from well known makers. Historical items, such as scientific instruments or military memorabilia, can also be worth more than we think and the age of an item can play a large role in its value so we recommend that if you find any of these type of items in your home to extensively explore them, looking for distinctive markings and take the time to do some research into the pieces as you may find out something truly valuable and rare. </span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is important to not worry if the item isn’t in the best condition as restoration can take place if needed. Condition is important and whilst some wear and tear can add to a piece’s character, excessive damage can decrease its value. If you find an item that is damaged and not in the best condition, then we recommend you contact our team and we can provide a professional evaluation and discuss its value. We also recommend you contact a restoration expert who can assess your item and what needs to be done to maintain the balance between restoration and conservation. </span></li></ul><h2><strong>How We Can Help Find your Unused Items a New Home</strong></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Hutchinson Scott, we take pride in our ability in helping you find new homes for your unused items, whether they’re antiques, collectibles, or cherished household pieces.
