Built on many years’ collective experience, Duke’s valuations team possess a strong reputation for accuracy, efficiency and compassion in the delivery of its professional valuation services.

Free and confidential valuations
At our Dorchester Fine Art Saleroom, we happily welcome “walk-ins” for free and confidential valuations for auction. Whether you’re curious about the worth of a family heirloom or considering selling a piece from your collection, our experts are on hand to offer their professional assessment.
For those outside of Dorchester, we also hold regular valuation days throughout the West Country, bringing our expertise closer to you.
Ways to get a valuation
- Online or over the phone — regardless of your location we can assist, routinely valuing items from all corners of the globe.
- In person — our doors are always open, and with convenient road and rail links we are easy to reach.
