Auction Houses?

Does anybody know of any auction houses in the West Yorkshire (preferrably near Leeds) area??

I've got a couple of pieces of furniture that I have inherited from grandparents that I can't find places for in my home and have thought about selling them.

I have no idea if they're antique or not (I've got a sideboard unit and a drawer bureau that are both dark, solid wood and have been in my parents house certainly for the last 28yrs of my life but I don't know how long they had them prior to 1980) but would love to get them valued but have absolutely no experience in this arena at all so would greatly welcome some advice x

    Try Bidders, Springfield commercial centre, pudsey, LS28 5LY, 01132551717.
    They should be able to advise you, they are quite friendly and helpfull. Probably not the best place to send expensive antique furniture but ok for low to mid price items, a good staring point.
  • Ooh will do, thanks vangirl :)

  • I like to go to auction. Does anyone know of any in the Glasgow area? Just general furniture/household etc.
  • Andrew Hartleys in Ilkley is good. They have weekly general sales and then every two/three months a specialist auction of better quality items.

    Pop auction into yell.com and you will get a list of local houses - the better ones have websites with viewing times and perhaps the current catalogue.
