Rogers Jones & Co will soon be holding a Jewellery, Porcelain, Pottery & Collectables sale at their Cardiff site. It takes place on Friday 3rd February 2023 from 10am.
As usual, they have quite a few Welsh interest lots available. My favourite is probably the large 19th Century love spoon. It’s the perfect present for St Dwynwen’s Day or Dydd Santes Dwynwen (the Welsh version of Valentine’s Day)… which happens to be today!
Please note, there’s no room bidding, it’s an online sale only.
To register to bid on the Rogers Jones & Co website, you can only pay via debit card. If you’re a winning bidder, payment for goods is strictly by bank transfer only and your invoice must be settled within 3 working days. They don’t accept payment in person at the saleroom. The buyer’s premium is 24% inclusive of VAT.
Alternatively, you may bid via The Saleroom website; however, there’ll be addition fees to pay.
The auction house does not offer in-house P&P – except for small items that can easily fit in a Jiffy bag. This service is at the buyer’s cost and risk. They do, however, recommend couriers that you can contact. If you’re able to collect, it will be by appointment only and not on sale days.
