Positive friendly and extremely good customer service. Descriptions honest, offer packing, and a good honest auction house.
Many thanks, delighted !

I have now had two purchase experiences with this company, they are professional, and really helpful.
The second item I bought from them was damaged in the post, their response was great, they arranged for the item to be collected, and the money I paid to be put back in my account.
I can recommend them, and will certainly be dealing with them in the future.

I joined on line to bid for a picture. Peter was a brilliant Auctioneer, he made it interesting and informative. I didn't feel intimidated as it was my first auction.I bid and won a picture from my list. It was easy to arrange to pay and pick up.
The receptionist was very good at her job and knew where I had travelled from.
She got someone to carry the picture to my car as it was quite heavy. Thankyou Wilson 55 and I would join another auction with you.

I've brought many paintings (Northern Art) from this auction house. The auctioneer, Stephen Sparrow is excellent. Fees are reasonable compared to many and they do not add additional charge for using their in-house bidding platform.

All round good experience and will return.
Downside, buyer’s premium far too much, like so many other auctions. Secondly, won’t accept traditional methods of payment but that’s good on my purse as I would love to acquire more!

The purchase was uneventful. I was supplied with the pictures requested. As I have been buying from Wilsons since 1988, they took a debit card over the phone which saved having to set the account up for wiring.

Easy process. Helpful staff. Good advice.

My online request for a condition check on a fragile art deco mirror was promptly answered and the detailed description, with extra photographs, was 100% accurate.
Illness prevented immediate collection but the auction house offered to store the mirror for a week or so which was excellent customer service.

5 star experience! Very easy to deal with I definitely will be using Wilson55 again.

We were the very proud owners of two Braaq's which we bought in the 1990's. The time had arrived to sell both and we liaised with Stephen in wilson55.com auctioneers and simply delighted that we did.
We felt really well looked after and couldn't fault Stephen in his enthusiasm for both paintings and getting us the very best price available in the market. The Company is very professional and Stephen was a delight to find and work with on the run up to the auction itself in March 2023 - always answered our Q's really quickly and nothing was too much trouble - would absolutely recommend any Braaq collectors and indeed anyone with quality oil paintings to sell to liaise with a quality firm and quality people found in wilson55.com accordingly - huge thanks again to Stephen and the team

Good auction house, easy to deal with.

First class service all the way from placing my first online bid to receiving my items via courier safely packed. I will certainly be using Wilsons55 again in the future.
Thank you all.

An easy, user friendly website and a very professional auction house. Been using them for many years for both buying and selling, and will continue to do so. Highly recommended.

I have been very impressed with wilson55. Liz Bailey the jewellery expert advised me on the sale of my items, and she made the whole process seamless. All I had to do was take a trip down to my local post office. From the photography to the cataloguing, I could not have been more satisfied. I will not hesitate to use wilson55 again, and thank you very much.

No issues at all, great service and very fast postage unlike some competitors that think the best part of a month is ok. From purchace to delivery was 4 days with Wilson55.

I too have bought through Wilsons and the service received was what I hoped for, but that isn't the reason for this revue ……..
I started buying at auction some 15 years ago and the commission rates were then at about 12% ~ ~ now the commissions rates generally level out at about 50% of the final payed price - and I wonder how sustainable this is.
So few Auction Houses advertise their commissions, beyond that of the buyer ~ so few mention that they also charge the seller a commission, and I know of one Auctioneer who charges a commission on unsold lots.
This isn't so much a complaint which is aimed at Wilson55 - more that it's aimed at the entire industry ~ I'm left with the opinion that every auction house watches what others are doing and then, wondering what they can get away with, so the changes increase.
There is one auction house which I deal with which charges a buyer's commission of 10% and then they levy 5% against the vendor too - that's 15%. They are a very well run and professional outlet - the last on-line auction finished on Sunday evening at 18:00 - I paid via the simplest BACS system ever, and on Tuesday morning DHL delivered my purchase, from Scotland and by 10:15 - and the shipping cost? ~ ~ £13.
Am I alone in wondering if the auction trade isn't at the point of self suffocation?

We received excellent service from Stephen Sparrow when selling several paintings at their auction. The whole process was smooth and hassle free and we were kept well informed throughout. Very competitive commission rate too with no hidden fees added on. Will use again.

Wilson55 sold two items of jewellery for me. The process was very professionally handled. One item's estimate was correct and it sold to estimate but the second item reached three times what was expected. This was probably on account of Wilson55's good marketing and wide customer base. A good ending to the story of my necklace.

Great experience dealing with a variety of staff, knowledgeable and very professional. Exceeded expectations when an item was despatched very quickly , arrived the next day and very competitive price. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this auction house again.
