For over 30 years Bainbridges have held regular sales of antiques and general effects.
Bainbridges value at all levels using in-house and consultant valuers. Our highest prices at auction have all come to us via probate valuations and private clearances. That includes the £5,000 thimble we discovered during a probate valuation on the banks of Lake Como, and the record-breaking £43m Chinese vase sold in November 2010 (as shown in the video above)".
Bainbridges will value the contents of the humble home as well as the castle.

Bainbridges specialise in PROBATE VALUATIONS. These are necessary when dealing with a deceased estate.
The Capital Taxes Office require that, along with the rest of a deceased's assets, the contents of their properties are valued as at the time of death.
The contents of our sales are 99% privately entered, usually from deceased estates and mainly unreserved. (that includes the sale of the £43 million Chinese vase shown above, which has broken world records and which, after fine art and sculpture, is the highest price ever achieved for a work of art.)
