Holts Auctioneers

Biography

HOLTS Auctioneers are Europe's leading auction house for fine modern and antique firearms. Located on the Sandringham Estate in England, HOLTS have been in the auctioneering business since 1993. They offer three live auctions a year each comprising an average of 900 lots.

Bidding live online is a convenient way to bid on the day, simply register with Invaluable and you are able to follow the auction and bid live from your own device.

Absentee bidding in advance of each live auction is also available, free of service charge, by accessing the fully illustrated online version of the catalogue on their website. A professional printed catalogue is produced for each of these auctions for which an annual subscription is available by ordering on their website.

Each live auction is supported by a silent (sealed bid) auction which runs for two weeks where items of a lesser value are offered. Each silent auction comprises an average of 5000 lots and bids can be made, free of service charge, by accessing the fully illustrated online version of the catalogue on their website.

HOLTS also hold regular smaller online only timed auctions, usually with a particular theme, which run for one month. Each lot is illustrated in the online catalogue.
