Sign In & Start Bidding

Please note that commission (absentee) bids cannot be placed by Sworders staff on your behalf in timed auctions.

You can increase your bid at any time during the auction. If another bidder outbids you, you’ll receive an email notification so you can respond quickly.

If a new bid is placed in the final 5 minutes before closing, that lot’s end time automatically extends by another 5 minutes.

If you can’t bid as the lot ends, simply enter your maximum bid — Sworders will bid automatically on your behalf up to that amount.

To view or manage your current bids, visit timed.sworder.co.uk.

Sorry, we cannot calculate a pre-sale automated shipping cost due to the items weight/size.

Should you be successful in buying this item, a specific shipping estimate can be requested after the sale by using the link in your invoice email; this also includes requests for international delivery.

If you would like further information about shipping and collection please see here.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!

Sworders is proud to be supporting the work of Antiques are Green - the movement that was founded in 2009 to promote “a greener future created from the past”. Read their fascinating carbon footprint study of a Georgian chest of drawers versus a modern equivalent here
