‘I would not hesitate to recommend Sworders to anyone contemplating a general sale.

It really was a very comprehensive service they offered from the off. Their enthusiastic and very experienced team came with great knowledge and integrated well alongside the modest team here to minimise disruption to my family and visitors to the estate.

There was a huge amount of work to do in preparation for the sale.  The Sworders team selected items from the attics and cellars that my wife and I had already sifted.  They then created the lots and produced a beautiful catalogue with well-crafted photography using cleverly chosen and differing backdrops within the hall. When the previewing days came, I was confident that our lots were well presented.  There was enthusiasm from the visitors, and this continued to the sale day when the relay of auctioneers created a real buzz, which certainly helped things along.'

The Earl of Leicester

‘I am so pleased I asked Sworders to sell the contents of Boden Hall.  Their care and attention to detail were  exceptional, making the sale of a lifetimes collection far less traumatic than it may have been.  They carefully catalogued each lot, discussed sensible pre-sale auction estimates, arranged professional collection from Cheshire and delivery to Stansted, kept me informed throughout the process, produced an extraordinarily beautiful catalogue, and achieved exceptional results.  I cannot recommend them highly enough.’

Victoria Wrather

‘Sworders guided me through the process of establishing the right pre-sale estimates that reaped the benefit on sale day with exceptional results. It’s been joyful seeing Elveden Hall furnished again, and looking so good, with many visitors. I sincerely hope all of the bidders enjoy their purchases as my family have done.’

Edward Guinness, 4th Earl of Iveagh
