ABOUT US

Lacy Scott & Knight are an independent long-established firm of Auctioneers & Valuers and Property Professionals.  We have been selling antiques and works of art since 1869 and in our purpose built Auction Centre situated in the heart of historic Bury St Edmunds since the 1980s.  We are one of the largest salerooms in the east of England, holding a diverse range of specialist and general sales throughout the year.

We have achieved a number of record-breaking and notable prices, including setting a UK provincial auction record in 1999 when we sold a pair of Sevres vases for £500,000.  This record has since been broken numerous times by other provincial auctioneers as the power of the internet has allowed provincial auctioneers to compete with the major London houses.  Recent prices of note include £130,000 achieved for a Chinese Qianlong Period carved zitan Ruyi sceptre, sold in December 2010 and a Chinese cloisonne champleve enamel bowl which sold for £72,000 in September 2011.

Lacy Scott & Knight prides itself on combining high level of expertise and professionalism with a traditional friendly attitude and personal service which our clients have come to expect from this established firm.  We are long-standing members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers (SOFAA).
