Sworders are delighted and honoured to be able to support The Captain Tom Foundation. 

From Thursday 22 October - Sunday 8 November, Sworders will host a timed online auction of paintings and drawings, sent by members of the public to Captain Tom. Bidding will be available at www.sworder.co.uk.

Captain Tom united the nation when it was needed most during the height of the Covid19 pandemic, raising £38.9 million for NHS Charities Together and becoming a national treasure in the process. 

Carrying on his journey, Captain Tom and family have identified causes close to their hearts which will benefit from the newly formed Captain Tom Foundation:

  • Combatting loneliness
  • Helping those facing bereavement
  • Supporting education and equality

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
