Furniture and Works of Art | Chorley's Auctioneers

Nearly all our sales include furniture and works of art sourced from country houses across the region. While many auctioneers prefer to give furniture a ‘back seat’ we have found it one of our most popular categories and with an increasing focus on ‘green’ lifestyles, we feel the future for antique furniture is bright. Works of Art have a growing appeal to younger buyers who wish to create a unique interior and step away from the bland minimalism of the past couple of decades. Whether this is in the form of furnishings such as mirrors and lighting or focal points such as grand tour objects and statuary, our sales have something to appeal to everyone. We are blessed with two spacious salerooms in which we can display each piece to its best advantage.
