Four salerooms open on the same morning this Monday, running from the Scottish Borders down through Cheshire to a Suffolk estate. Every one starts within fifteen minutes of the next, every one runs online and in the room, and every one leans into honest, mixed-catalogue antiques — the kind of sale where a piece of country furniture sits a few lots from silver, ceramics and the odd surprise. Here is the day, house by house, with the practical detail you need to leave a bid.
- A7 Waverley Auctions — Galashiels, 9:45am (BST)
- Adam Partridge — Macclesfield, 10:00am (BST)
- Clarke and Simpson, Saleroom 2 — Campsea Ashe, Suffolk, 10:00am (BST)
- Clarke and Simpson, Salerooms 3 & 4 — Campsea Ashe, Suffolk, 10:00am (BST)
What’s in the A7 Waverley Auctions sale in Galashiels?
A7 Waverley Auctions Ltd gets the day going with its Antique & General Household Auction, opening at 9:45am (BST) on Monday 17 August 2026. It runs from Ladhope Vale House, Galashiels, TD1 1BT, and you can bid online or in person.
A general household sale is the classic Borders browse: house-clearance furniture, everyday and antique ceramics, glass, pictures, brass and treen, alongside the practical pieces that furnish a home. It’s the natural hunting ground for trade dealers stocking a shop, designers after character furniture, and first-time bidders who want something real without a specialist’s price tag. The sharpest value in a general catalogue often goes early, before the day’s regulars have found their coffee.
See the full line-up on the live catalogue, read about the firm on the A7 Waverley Auctions house page, or browse other Scotland salerooms on Auction Eagle.
When is the Adam Partridge Antiques, Fine Art & Collectables sale?
Adam Partridge Auctioneers & Valuers hold their Antiques, Fine Art & Collectables sale at 10:00am (BST) the same morning. It runs from The Cheshire Saleroom, Withyfold Drive, Macclesfield, online and in person.
This is the step up in tone for the day — a properly catalogued antiques, fine art and collectables sale rather than a straight household clearance. Expect the fuller sweep a specialist house brings: furniture, silver, jewellery, ceramics, pictures and collectables, catalogued with the detail that reassures a buyer bidding remotely. One note straight from the house: open Show Auction Details, then Important Information, on the listing for the terms that apply specifically to this sale before you leave a bid.
Buyers following the firm’s Devon sales will want this on the radar. Check the live catalogue for the full run of lots, and read about the valuers on the Adam Partridge house page.
What’s in the Clarke and Simpson Monday Sale, Saleroom 2?
Down in Suffolk, Clarke and Simpson Auctions run their well-known weekly Monday Sale — and this week there’s enough to fill several rooms. First, The Monday Sale — Saleroom 2 starts at 10:00am (BST) on 17 August 2026 from Campsea Ashe, near Wickham Market, online and in person.
The Monday Sale is a fixture in the East Anglian trade calendar for good reason: a broad, briskly run catalogue of antiques, collectables and household goods that turns over steadily and rewards regulars. It’s a fair entry point if you’re new to the room — watch a few lots go, get the measure of the auctioneer’s pace, then dip in when something catches your eye. Diarise this: condition reports close at 11am on the Saturday before the sale, so ask for the firm’s read on a lot in good time.
Browse the live catalogue for Saleroom 2, see more on the Clarke and Simpson house page, or explore other Suffolk auctioneers.
What’s different about Clarke and Simpson Salerooms 3 & 4?
Running alongside it, The Monday Sale — Salerooms 3 & 4 also opens at 10:00am (BST) from the same Campsea Ashe site, online and in person. Two more salerooms means two more full catalogues to work through, so plan your bidding across both before the morning gets busy.
This is where a big weekly sale earns its keep: spreading across salerooms lets the house move a large volume of furniture, collectables and general lots at a good clip — exactly the setting where a sharp-eyed buyer finds honest value. The same deadline applies, so treat 11am on the Saturday beforehand as your cut-off for condition-report questions. Bidding across multiple salerooms with one firm? Register once and keep both catalogues open in tabs.
The live catalogue for Salerooms 3 & 4 lists everything on offer; the firm’s details sit on the Clarke and Simpson house page, with more Suffolk sales alongside it.
How do you bid across all four sales?
Four sales, three counties, one morning. If you’re bidding remotely, register on each catalogue platform ahead of time, factor the buyer’s premium and any online surcharge into your limit, and — for the Suffolk sales — get condition-report requests in before Saturday’s 11am cut-off. Follow A7 Waverley Auctions, Adam Partridge and Clarke and Simpson on Auction Eagle to catch their next catalogues. Good luck in the room.
