VALUATIONS 1
My first three weeks at Woolley and Wallis were perhaps the strangest start to company life I have experienced-on 1st June Woolley and Wallis was just beginning to emerge from Covid ‘lockdown’ and the world was subdued. How life has changed since! My diary has filled up and in the last three months I have been all over the south west, London, the Midlands and Yorkshire in line with Government guidelines and strict safety procedures. Consignments are pouring in and Paul Viney and I have been kept busy in the Valuations Department with sale inspections, probate and insurance work and quite a number of visits to established clients with great collections. Early finds have included a Staffordshire slipware owl jug (figure 2), a Lambeth delft ‘tulip’ charger, a Charles II wassail cup and cover (see page 20), a Joan Eardley oil on board and a wonderful Cartier tank wristwatch St. Petersburg coming up in November and featured on the back cover of this Sale News.

The Valuations Department now has a ‘valuation enquiry’ tab on the website so if you would like something appraised for sale by auction, please do make use of this new facility and upload images. Coronavirus notwithstanding, it has been a hugely exciting start for me with lots of good visits in the pipeline, some tremendous auctions already behind me and some fantastic ones in front of me.
