There is currently strong demand for the work of Mouseman and other Yorkshire Oak, with pieces achieving consistently high prices at auction. David Duggleby Auctioneers & Valuers have extensive experience selling Mouseman and Yorkshire Oak furniture and smaller items. Being a Yorkshire company, we are located close to both the birthplace of Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson, Kilburn, and the locations of his many apprentices and followers. This means our auctions receive high levels of interest from local collectors.
Despite the stereotype of 'brown furniture', demand for quality antique furniture is still high. David Duggleby sell a good selection of antique furniture, ranging from traditional oak, pine, mahogany and more from 18th century Georgian to 20th century Edwardian and beyond. We also sell Modern Furniture and items of 20th Century Design. Our Country House Sales also sell a specially curated selection of fine antique furniture from Country Residences & Estates throughout North & East Yorkshire. If you are interested in selling items of Antique Furniture, we are happy to offer a free online valuation.
Maybe you are acting on behalf of a relative or friend who is moving into residential care, or have been appointed executor of an estate that requires clearance. The task of clearing a house can be difficult both emotionally and physically. David Duggleby can offer you a prompt and professional service catered to meet your needs. We have 30 years' experience offering house clearance services throughout North Yorkshire and further afield. In that time we have built a solid reputation, and we are proud of our professional and courteous team of experts who are always ready to help you.
Due to their age, sometimes antiques may need a bit of TLC to restore them to your preference. Should you buy an item from us which needs a bit of work we will be happy to store it for you until it's restored. You can then collect the item from us or have it delivered to your home, ready for you to enjoy. We repair and restore items with all levels of damage: from chips and splits, to complete refurbishment. Once your antique furniture has been repaired it's then finished to your requirements - whether it's a thorough clean, a wax, or a French polish.
We have taken advice regarding the item brought to you for valuation only which you have sold without the permission or consent of the owner, namely myself and have no choice but to pursue this matter. We are appalled at the lack of professionalism and your total disregard for the distress you have caused. We would never be able to recommend the valuation service and auction side of your business and will endeavour to warn as many people as we can of your sharp practices. Disgusted does not begin to explain how we feel about Duggleby's.
