We've built our reputation on friendly and efficient service coupled with the expertise that comes from a century in the business. From our early roots in land management and estate agency, Addisons auction house grew to become so successful that it moved to purpose-built premises in 2002. Situated on the outskirts of Barnard Castle - with a large modern saleroom, free parking and a popular cafe - the auction house is a focal point for the North's private sellers, dealers and collectors.

We are happy to offer customers a packing and postage service where we can. However, we recommend Mailboxes for the shipping of fragile ceramics, heavy items, paintings under glass etc. Contact Mailboxes at tel. 0191 222 0018 or email [email protected] for a quotation.

Our minimum charge for packing and postage is £15.00. We do not take any responsibility for items lost or damaged when using Royal Mail and it would therefore be the customer’s responsibility to follow up in that event.
