An Inverness garden centre is teaming up with auctioneers to help uncover some of the region’s treasures.

Simpsons Garden Centre on Culloden Road is hosting a free valuation day with Bonhams.

The one-day event on Wednesday, August 24 will give members of the public the opportunity to find out what their treasures are worth.

Auctioneers will value a host of items, ranging from works of art, silver, jewellery, books and furniture, including ceramics, glass and arms and armoury.

A pair of Scottish Flintlock All-Steel Belt Pistols by Thomas Murdoch Of Doune, dating back to the mid 18th Century, was sourced in the Highlands and sold for £15,250 in October 2021.

Entries will also be accepted for the annual Scottish Sale, being held from October 19-20 in Edinburgh.

May Matthews, managing director for Bonhams in Scotland, said: “Over the years we have regularly sourced fascinating items from the Highlands, including 17th century candelabra, Inverness silver and Highland regalia.”

The valuation day will run from 10am to 3pm.

Bonhams is the only firm of international auctioneers and valuers with a saleroom in Scotland with auctions for Scottish art and whisky, together with Scottish antiques.

Auctions in the UK are held both in Edinburgh and London and the team of valuers cover all of Scotland on a regular basis and are able to visit your home to view larger items.
