Ian Cadzow, Managing Director Auctioneer/Valuer

Rosebery's was founded twenty years ago by Ian Cadzow, formerly with Sotheby's. The first sale in 1987 was two days after 'Black Monday' on the London Stock Exchange and, although the omens appeared unfavorable for a new business, the mid-range of antiques, fine art and collectables that makes up the core of Rosebery's business held up quite well. We were able to establish ourselves first in Islington and then in Crystal Palace where we moved in search of more spacious premises.

A Victorian railway station became Rosebery's second home before a move to larger premises in West Norwood.

Rosebery's experienced team of valuers is able to offer expert advice on most aspects of the market. Rosebery's looks forward to welcoming you to the salerooms in the near future.
