Woolley & Wallis

Biography

Woolley and Wallis are one of the leading regional Fine Art Auctioneers in the UK holding auctions in Castle Street, Salisbury since 1884. We hold over fifty sales each year, with prices ranging from a few pounds to £2.6million recently bid for a Yuan dynasty double-gourd vase – the record price for any object sold in a UK regional auction house.

We have been described by the Antiques Trade Gazette as 'arguably the most exciting provincial saleroom in the country' and with a turnover for 2005 of £8.6million, we are certainly the largest-grossing provincial saleroom in the UK.

We have 6 main specialist departments, headed up by leading experts in their field. Our specialist sales cover most areas of Fine Art, including Antique Furniture and Works of Art, Clocks and Scientific Instruments, Ceramics, Glass and Oriental Works of Art, Oil Painting, Watercolours, Prints and Books, Silver, Jewellery, Spoons and 20th Century Decorative Arts.

We share our history and premises with the Woolley and Wallis partnership, who provide a full range of professional services for buying and renting houses, farms and commercial property throughout Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset.
