About Us
Welcome to Shapes Auctioneers - one of Scotland's leading independant auction houses.
Come and visit us in our new larger showroom

Sellers pay NO COMMISSION on lots selling for £5,000 and over
We handle over 600 lots of antiques and fine art each month. Our specialists have a wealth of experience ranging from silver, jewllery, ceramics and paintings to Oriental rugs and furniture. To ensure we achieve the best possible price for your antiques, our advertising and marketing uses the traditional media as well as the internet. Our clients also benefit from the database which we have developed, incorporating tens of thousands of buyers, both at home and overseas.


To promote each auction, high quality printed catalogues are distributed to buyers worldwide. The catalogue is also published on our website. Our fast and efficient service is able to deal with the entire contents of a home, be it a small bungalow or a castle and we are qualified to provide formal valuations for legal, taxation or insurance purposes. In a market previously dominated by London-based firms, we represent a Scottish voice in the world of auctioneering.
