Bosleys are privileged to have been given a most prestigious honour by the British Antiques and Collectables Awards.
Despite tremendous competition from all the major national auction houses, provincial auction rooms and specialist sale rooms, the last award for best auction house (central England) was awarded to Bosleys. It was judged on quality of service, range and consistency of material and depth and breadth of knowledge.

    AND FINALLY .....
    In response to requests by so many collectors, their wives, widows and families we would like to bring to your attention one of the services we offer our clients.
    To many collectors what will happen to their collection of medals or militaria after their death can be an overwhelming worry. Often surviving relatives have no concept of the true value of a collection, what to do with it or where to dispose of it.
    We are often asked to assist in the disposal of collections by a widow after a collector has passed away. It can be a very harrowing time especially if she has not played an active part in forming the collection and has little idea of it's extent or current value.
    We have heard truly dreadful accounts of so called friends suddenly appearing and offering to buy the collection, or individual items in it, at a fraction of the true value. So we urge you, the collector, to consider now what you would like to happen to your collection in the years to come and assist your partner by explaining the various options and ensuring they, or your solicitor, are aware of who to contact should anything happen to you.
    We offer a totally confidential and personal service and regularly handle the sale of collections, both at home and abroad, in a manner which realises the best return for our clients and their families.
    We are happy to offer advice on the matter which puts your mind at rest and ensures that your collection realises the full value for your spouse or children and can furnish a registration form as well as documentation to pass on to your family and solicitor. If you would like further details of this confidential service, please do not hesitate to contact us.
