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 and 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 our second home and we have remained in the area and have been in our current premises in West Norwood for nearly 10 years.
Our experienced team of valuers are able to offer expert advice on most aspects of the market. We look forward to welcoming you to our salerooms in the near future.
