He has conducted his highly successful and popular antique valuations and sales advice days now in its 30th year and these events are ongoing throughout the South of England and beyond. Vernon invites you, the public to bring along any antiques, collectibles and so on and is more than happy to give advice on valuations and sales of your items brought along for his inspection. If Vernon then feels that he can locate a private buyer or collector on your behalf then he will proceed with this on a "contract of sale" basis only.
Vernon has sold items for as little as £100 to being instructed as agent of whole estates i.e. bank collections, jewellery collections etc. along with the obvious day to day antiques. Vernon has had offices in Zurich, the Canary Islands and closer to home, Crowborough. And over his 50 year period he has collated a wealth of private buyers and collectors. In 1990 he established Vernon Ward Antique Roadshows (Registered in England No.2215508). These valuation days are extremely popular with the public and those seeking sales advice. During the many roadshows numerous rare items have gained national TV coverage - a typical example is below.
