A Legacy Revived: The Story Behind Puttick & Simpson
In an age of fast trends and fleeting fashions, few businesses can claim a connection to history that spans centuries. At Puttick & Simpson, we proudly revive the legacy of one of Britain’s oldest names in auctioneering — originally established in 1794 — and carry it forward with fresh vision and global reach.
Our work bridges the past and present: fine art, estate collections, rare jewelry, and decorative treasures — appraised and brought to auction by seasoned professionals, including former Sotheby’s experts. But what sets us apart isn't just expertise; it's reverence. Reverence for stories hidden in every object, and for the trust our clients place in us to preserve and pass them on.
Today, headquartered in the U.S. and inspired by our historical roots, Puttick & Simpson stands as a symbol of discretion, knowledge, and continuity — a home for collectors, families, and institutions seeking more than just a transaction.
Because here, value isn’t just estimated — it’s understood.
