The Cotswold Auction Company
The origins of the company date back to the late 1800's. Antique furniture, paintings and books formed the core of the early sales of Hobbs & Chambers, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Estate Agents.As well as disposing of the contents of some of the larger country houses in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire in the early years of the 20th Century, present day buyers might be amused to know that Hobbs & Chambers, Auctioneers once stood in Faringdon market place selling chickens and eggs! (Not to mention gallons of ex-MOD battleship grey paint at an airfield near Minchinhampton)Elizabeth Poole and Lindsey Braune are joint directors of The Cotswold Auction Company. Elizabeth trained in Fine Arts Valuation at Southampton Institute and qualified in 1988. Lindsey read modern languages at St Annes College Oxford University before training with Capes Dunn and Co in Manchester and qualifying as a Chartered Art and Antiques Surveyor with the RICS in 1984. Elizabeth and Lindsey ran Hobbs and Chambers auction department from the mid 1980’s until 1988. They purchased the business in August 1988 and became independent – The Cotswold Auction Company was established.Now to bring you up-to-date, the Cotswold Auction Company's first major step in the 21st Century has been the exciting acquisition of Short Graham & Co, a Gloucestershire firm also founded in the late 19th Century. We now offer: Three salerooms in Gloucester, Cirencester and CheltenhamTown centre offices
