Why The Galleries Guide
Our AI is trained on decades of UK auction results — from Bonhams and Christie's to regional salerooms across Britain. Unlike US-based platforms that apply American market data to British items, we understand the UK market and price accordingly.
Auction value and insurance replacement value are very different figures — and neither is the same as a general market appraisal. We are the only UK platform that delivers all three in a single, structured report backed by comparable sales evidence.
We outperform US-based AI appraisal tools on UK and European items. Our model is trained across 50+ specialist categories with particular depth in British furniture, silver, ceramics, and fine art — valuations you can actually rely on.
A number is only as useful as the document it comes in. Every valuation includes a downloadable report with your value, the methodology behind it, and cited comparable sales — accepted by UK insurers and suitable for estate and legal purposes.
