Our London gallery will undergo a fresh transformation throughout the month June to elevate the experience for clients and visitors.
29 May 2025
To ensure we continue offering the very best experience for our clients, Sworders London will be temporarily closed for refurbishment throughout the month of June. We are excited to be upgrading our space to make it even more welcoming and inspiring for our valued clients and visitors.
But don’t worry — our services are still available!
Throughout June, our team will be fully operational from our head office in Stansted Mountfitchet, ready to assist with valuations, enquiries, and anything else you need. Calls to our London Office will be diverted directly to our London Gallery Manager, Madeleine Armstrong and London clients are warmly invited to contact her while the Cecil Court office is being polished to perfection.
We can’t wait to welcome you back to our refreshed space, reopening on Monday 7 July, where we’ll be resuming selected sale previews, valuation days, and private meetings for those interested in selling with Sworders.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we invest in the future of Sworders London.
Few figures in the art and antiques world have shaped taste and defied convention quite like Ken Bolan. From the glamour of continental showrooms to the quiet beauty of rewilded West Country landscapes, Ken’s journey has been one of bold vision and creative instinct. This landmark sale, to be held on Wednesday 24 September, opens a window into that world – a personal collection amassed over five decades, filled with sculpture, furniture, and design with soul and story.

A major highlight of our forthcoming 'DREAMS | A Unique Private Collection' sale on 9 July is a remarkable archive of letters and manuscripts by John Ruskin (1819–1900), the celebrated Victorian polymath. This unparalleled group – numbering in the hundreds – is believed to be the largest collection of Ruskin correspondence in private hands and spans a vast range of topics from art and architecture to politics, religion, and personal reflection.

'The Scented Garden of Abdullah the Satirist of Shiraz' - also known as 'The Bagh-i-Muattar' - quickly caught the attention of our book specialists, when a copy bound in full vellum was brought in by a local client to our weekly valuation day.
