Paintings & Sculpture

Appraising and selling paintings and sculpture is at the heart of every successful auction house. Such a task, however, poses significant challenges, covering hundreds of years of artistic endeavour, in many styles and mediums. Sworders’ ability to identify and value works from a wide range of schools and periods, combined with careful presentation and marketing, have led to our achieving consistently strong results and some truly exceptional prices.

Sworders' Paintings Department has grown over the last five years, processing over 4,000 lots a year and now boasts a full and varied selection of sales including specialist art auctions of: Modern British and 20th Century Art; Sporting Art, Wildlife and Dogs; and quarterly Fine Interiors sales which include Old Master, Victorian and traditional works. Further information on each of these sales can be found by following the links below.
