Scottish Art Auction Specialists
Lyon & Turnbull is the market leader in the selling of Scottish art. We present two flagship auctions per year live from our historic headquarters in Edinburgh, to an international audience online.
Amongst our successes, we have sold over 90% of Scottish Colourist works offered in the last nine years, a record unmatched by our competitors. Selling Scottish paintings and sculpture to the world from Scotland has always been a source of pride for Lyon & Turnbull.
Our specialists have unparalleled experience and expertise in the research, promotion and selling of Scottish art. A deep, wide-ranging and personal knowledge of collectors in this field is combined with the fact that they look to Lyon & Turnbull for their next acquisitions: it is this unique combination that underpins our ongoing success in the field.
Our Scottish Paintings & Sculpture Auctions
Our Scottish Paintings & Sculpture summer and winter auctions cover the period from the 18th to the 20th centuries. From the Romantic landscapes of Alexander Nasmyth and portraiture of Allan Ramsay and Sir Henry Raeburn, to the highly sought-after works of the Scottish Colourists, Joan Eardley and Anne Redpath, each edition brings new and beautiful works to light. Highlights of past auctions include important paintings and sculpture by artists such as the Glasgow Boys, the Edinburgh School, Eduardo Paolozzi and Gerald Laing.
Our sales are available online but are also accompanied by lavishly illustrated and deeply researched catalogues which are available in printed and electronic formats. Our beautifully installed sale previews are held in our Georgian headquarters in Edinburgh and can be enjoyed virtually via our online tours by those unable to visit us in person.
All sale results shown are inclusive of buyer’s premium.
