Nestled in the heart of Yorkshire, Morley Auctioneers is a family-run business owned by Bernie Neal and his wife, Vanessa. Originally from Tunbridge Wells, the couple spent years travelling across Asia before settling in France, where they dedicated two decades to buying and selling antiques. Their extensive experience in the antique trade eventually brought them back to the UK, where they established the auction house in 2017.

Since its founding, Morley Auctioneers has built a solid reputation in the auction world, hosting fortnightly sales every other Friday at 10am. These auctions attract both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers, offering an impressive selection of items including gold, silver, jewellery, militaria, coins, art, ceramics, glass, toys, vinyl, die-cast models, antiques, and vintage collectibles. The variety on offer means there is truly something for everyone.

What sets the auction house apart is its wide reach within the auction market. As the only local venue partnered with four leading online bidding platforms, it provides sellers with access to a vast global audience. With millions of collectors tuning in each week, consignors benefit from maximum exposure and competitive bidding. Whether you are selling a single item or an entire collection, they ensure your lots reach the right buyers, giving each piece the attention it deserves.

For those interested in valuations, dedicated valuation days are held every Saturday. Visitors can bring their items to receive expert auction estimates from the knowledgeable team. The auction house also hosts special roadshow events at various locations throughout the year, allowing more people to take advantage of their professional appraisal services. Full details on upcoming events and roadshows are available on their website.

Additionally, the auction house operates a large antiques centre on-site, open seven days a week. Stocked by local dealers, the centre features a wide variety of treasures, from rare collectibles to unique decorative pieces. Whether you’re an avid collector or simply enjoy browsing, there’s always something new to discover.

Making a mark on television, the team has appeared on popular programmes such as Bargain Hunt and Antique Road Trip. Following a successful six-episode feature, the staff is set to return to filming in the summer, further cementing their reputation as trusted industry experts.

Morley Auctioneers and valuers is also available for talks with local community groups, offering insights into the history of antiques, the auction process, and valuation expertise.
