Precious metals are experiencing an unprecedented boom. Over the past year, the price of gold has soared by more than 40 per cent, with silver following a similarly spectacular upward trajectory. At auction, this surging global demand translates directly into remarkable local results; classic silver tea sets and solid silverware that once gathered dust in the attic are now routinely fetching £1,000 or more under the hammer.

It raises an important question: would you really choose to sell your precious family heirlooms for a price you merely hope is reasonable to a passing stranger you will likely never see again?

Or would you prefer the trusted expertise and transparency of a local professional?
