Sworders at Snape: Art, Antiques & Stories

Britten Pears Arts are delighted to be welcoming Sworders back to Snape Maltings this autumn for another free Art & Antiques Valuation Day.

Sworders has enjoyed becoming part of the local community through previous valuation events at Snape Maltings and The Red House, meeting local residents and collectors and hearing the stories behind the objects that are special to them.

This time, the team will be at The Trask in the Britten Pears Building on Thursday 8 October, making the most of the recently reopened space and its beautiful terrace overlooking the River Alde estuary.

The day will begin with a short, informal talk on valuations for Estate Planning and Collection Management. It’s a chance to find out how a professional valuation can help you understand, organise and plan for the future of a collection – whether or not you’re thinking about selling.

From 11.15am, Sworders’ specialists will then be on hand to offer free valuations across a range of categories, including Silver, Ceramics, Works of Art, Pictures, Jewellery, Modern Design and more.

Bring along a favourite painting, a piece of inherited silver, a piece of jewellery, a ceramic you’ve always wondered about – or simply an object with a story to tell. The team will be happy to share their knowledge and offer an insight into its history, significance and place in today’s market.
