Valuation Days

As Lyon & Turnbull celebrates 200 years of auction expertise, our specialists invite you to join us for one of our monthly, complimentary Asian Art Valuation Days in Edinburgh.

Our experienced Asian Art team will be available throughout the day to provide free, confidential and no-obligation valuations for Chinese ceramics, Japanese works of art, jade, bronzes, paintings, textiles and other Asian antiques. Drawing on two centuries of market knowledge, our specialists can advise on authenticity, current auction values and the potential for inclusion in a future sale.

Held at our Edinburgh saleroom, this event offers a rare opportunity to meet directly with our experts and discover whether your object could be a future auction highlight.

Our Valuation Days provide complimentary auction valuations for items you may be considering selling through Lyon & Turnbull. Insurance valuations are not offered at these events. If you require a formal written valuation for insurance, probate or other purposes, please ask about our professional valuation services.
