The signs of progress for Sheffield dealers
08 April 2015Sheffield’s antiques quarter has been put on the map with new brown signs to illustrate its cultural significance.
![14-01-22-2125NE01A Sheffield Auction Gallery.jpg](/media/1609/14-01-22-2125ne01a-sheffield-auction-gallery.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462558490000000)
Fierce bidding for Stephenson’s bright spark in Sheffield auction
22 January 2014The unexpected high point of the latest sale held at Sheffield Auction Gallery was this rare survivor – one of two miner’s lamps entered for sale by a local vendor.
![2063NE04A-12-10-22.jpg](/media/3197/2063ne04a-12-10-22.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462559260000000)

Sheffield dealers lead the way in reviving their fortunes
09 July 2012If the people of Sheffield weren’t aware of the vibrant Antiques Quarter right under their noses, they must be now.
Sheffield trade plan antiques quarter revival
30 April 2012TRADERS in Sheffield have launched an initiative to promote the city’s antiques quarter that could provide a template for other parts of the country to follow.
New home and new name for Sheffield auctioneers
17 January 2011YORKSHIRE'S ELR Auctions have moved to new bespoke premises, rebranding as the Sheffield Auction Gallery.
![1881NE02A.jpg](/media/4208/1881ne02a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462560140000000)
Hausburg’s masterpiece in Sheffield
30 March 2009SHEFFIELD’S ELR Auctions sold this exceptional Victorian inlaid ebony table cabinet as part of their quarterly antiques and fine art sale on March 27.
Purchasing fashions change in Sheffield
31 January 2005ELR, Sheffield, December 10, Buyer’s premium: 15 per cent Changing fashion was the talking point at ELR’s recent quarterly antiques sale. While the market for traditional furniture remains difficult, collectable names from the 20th century were in high demand.
![1647AR04B.jpg](/media/5557/1647ar04b.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561610000000)
Where reliable trains just get better…
07 July 2004THE railways themselves may not be as dependable as they were, but you can absolutely count on Sheffield Railwayana Auctions coming up with the goods. June 12 saw the specialists, who still don’t charge buyer’s premium, steaming along to a £438,000 total from 530 lots.
![1647AR05E.jpg](/media/5723/1647ar05e.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561750000000)
Cock of the north crows at £5400
07 July 2004AN impressive sight at 24in (61cm) high on its hardwood base, this Japanese Meiji period bronze cockerel provided the clear highlight of the quarterly antiques and fine art sale conducted by ELR (15% buyer’s premium) at the Sheffield Saleroom on June 11.
What's in the steam age for dealers?
15 April 2004“ANOTHER glorious array of items from our railway heritage with many record prices,” was Ian Wright’s verdict after Sheffield Railwayana Auctions' (no buyer's premium) specialist March 13 sale, and certainly a sale total of £427,000 with only 16 of the 550 lots unsold would be the envy of most auctioneers, some of whom must be wondering if the railwayana market is ever going to run out of steam.
Great names from the golden age
08 January 2004Over recent years the market for classic railway engine nameplates has shown itself to be as solid and reliable as the great engines they once adorned. It is 40 years since the Beeching Report condemned a third of the British rail network to the axe and effectively ended the glorious age of steam, but even then there were enthusiasts who cared enough to preserve what they could.
When Sheffield silver first made its mark – 1773
09 December 2003As York silver becomes both too hard-to-find and too expensive to buy, there is increasing interest in early wares from the Sheffield assay office. The manufacture of silver in Sheffield did not begin until the second half of the 18th century – a direct offshoot to the Old Sheffield Plate and the cutlery industry.
Squadron leads rail day at £45,800
14 January 2003“Stunning” was how auctioneer Ian Wright of Sheffield Railwayana Auctions (no buyer’s premium) described his December 7 sale. Taking £555,703 over the 550-lots, of which only six were left unsold, the sale showed how this buoyant market just keeps getting stronger and stronger.
Stanley’s knife cuts £1500 dash
28 November 2001‘Little mesters’ were the sub-contractors of the Sheffield cutlery industry – self-employed artisans who hired space in large factories to forge, grind and haft their blades, the factory owner receiving a substantial cut from their sale.
Electric Tommy – almost a match for steam
19 October 2001PROBABLY the greatest success story of recent years, the railwayana market fostered and virtually cornered by Ian Wright at Sheffield continues to flourish.
Where railways run at happy profit
26 July 2001THE wheels may be coming off RailTrack and rail shares plunging generally, but in the older parallel world of steam things could hardly be better. Looking at sales figures of 544 lots getting away out of 550 offered and a total of £383,000 on June 16 at Sheffield Railwayana Auctions, other auctioneers can only envy Ian Wright’s decision some years ago to specialise in railwayana.
