Welcome to Watson's Auctioneers web site

Much has changed since we opened our auction house in Heathfield, East Sussex in 1874, but one thing has remained unaltered: our commitment to providing a personal, professional service covering fine art, antique furniture, pictures, collectors items, general sale items, valuations (probate, insurance or sale) and a complete clearance service. We take great pride in our reputation, and the long-standing relationships we enjoy with buyers, sellers, dealers, solicitors and other clients worldwide.

We run 2 types of sale, a General Auction every Tuesday with up to 600 lots and an Antique Furniture & Collectables Auction 6 times a year with up to 500 lots

By combining the best of today's technology with the values of a traditional family firm, we offer you the individual attention, unrivalled expertise and reassurance that have made us part of life here for more than 130 years.

Our Auctions department is headed by Peter Hobden, who has over 30 years' auctioneering experience. He has worked with Watsons for 12 years, and specialises in pictures.
