Carter's Auctioneers

Biography

Carter's Auctioneers hold five auctions each year at Blakedown Parish Rooms near Kidderminster. John Carter's policy is to accept items for auction solely from private vendors, ensuring that all lots in each sale are fresh to the market. This policy has led to the saleroom always capturing the interest of Antique Dealers and Collectors alike and being able to achieve a regular sales rate of 98% of lots on offer. In addition to using the local press to advertise for entries for each sale, marketing the sale is achieved by advertising in the 'Antiques Trade Gazette' and using the services of 'Invaluable' who target collectors with specific interests. Using these companies we have established a data base of clients worldwide. Blakedown Parish Rooms, Kidderminster, is an ideal site for these sales. The saleroom is well lit, enabling prospective purchasers to inspect lots on offer and satisfy themselves as to the condition of each lot. The sale room is within easy access of the M5 and M42 motorways and clients from all over the country travel to attend these sales. There is ample parking space at Blakedown Parish Rooms and a professional caterer is always in attendance satisfying the need for light refreshment. Sale room staff are always been friendly and helpful, adding to the relaxed, yet efficient, atmosphere during each sale.
