Business is booming for a Lichfield auction house after it enjoyed a record-breaking month.
Richard Winterton Auctioneers, based at Fradley Park, said more than 3,450 bidders had battled it out for 2,842 lots.
Among the items sold included a Maori Adze fetching £4,000 and a 2.58ct diamond solitaire.
Auctioneer Richard Winterton said:
“Through the hard times of covid we pulled out all the stops to adapt and evolve and I am delighted to say that we have continued to succeed and defy the odds, with record sales and a record number of house clearances too.
“We are quick and efficient selling but a huge amount of painstaking work goes on behind the scenes putting each and every sale together meticulously, whether it’s a single lot from a jewellery valuation or an entire house clearance of items of all shapes and sizes.
“It has been another record-breaking month.”
