CHALKWELL AUCTIONS has been established in the Southend area for almost 25 years and as a result of our re-location in 2010 has grown to be an important saleroom in the South of England. We hold 24 regular auctions per year, always on the second Wednesday and the fourth Thursday of the month, and their contents comprehend antiques, jewellery, fine art, silver, collectables and so on. We also host several Timed Auctions with specialized contents. All our sales are now live on-line via our own platform at www.chalkwellauctions.co.uk and through our own Chalkwell Auctions app for iOS. We have gained an excellent reputation for the quality of our service both from sellers and buyers.
