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.
