Clearing my late mother's house threw up lots of bits not wanted by the family. We took several items along to Hansons who were both polite and honest about the likelihood of the items being desired.... See more

All I would say about Hanson's is that they don't reply to emails I have sent them and my experience of dealing with them over the last seven months has been most unsatisfactory.
Work Placement and working with the team
The past few weeks I have been completing a work placement with Notty Hornblower Valuer of Costume and Textiles at Hansons Auctioneers at the Etwall Head Office. I have had a lovely experience working with the team who were all friendly and supportive during my placement journey. I have learnt a great deal and was encouraged from the outset to get involved, which has shaped me as a professional. I am currently a Fashion Design student attending the University of Derby, I intend to go into print design due to my passion for painting. Being exposed to the textile goods at Hansons has inspired me creatively and gave me insight into historical knowledge that I can continue to incorporate into my designs. I have had so much support from Hansons staff and enjoyed assisting valuation sessions which gave me an insight into the world of antiques which I found very interesting. It was great to observe the journey from initial valuation to final lotting up for auction.

unrealistic valuations
unrealistic valuations, items taken well boxed, didnt sell only due to my reserves, commission plus vat, not worth selling, collection, items unboxed , demands for payment to list , not worth the hasstle. Would only use if you want to clear your clutter but dont expect a payment unless its gold which you can sell for a lot more at a gold buying store

Thought there was a lack of contact re the Auction . I wasn’t informed that some of the Items and which items were to be auctioned the month after . Still not given a date for them as yet, luckily i made a list of all the auction items so know what is still to go to Auction. Thank you for the updates re selling prices . Regards Lois Jenkinson

We had a valuer come to our house and she was lovely. Just like a friend. Nothing was too much trouble. We decided to go to the auction the at time we had been to one. Really enjoyed it. It was good to see people from here and abroad buying our stuff. The auctioneer was brilliant. We were kept informed from start to finish. Thank you Hanson's for all your help. At Derbyshire
