Furniture & Antiques

Bishop & Miller’s regular ‘Remarkable Rooms’ auction features Antiques, Furniture and Furnishings including works of art, carpets, textiles and sculptures. These auctions always contain a varied mix of interesting and highly sought-after items spanning centuries of style.

Remarkable Rooms

At Bishop & Miller, you never know what you will find in our Furniture and Antiques catalogue but they tend to be focused on items such as period and contemporary furniture, furnishings and ornaments together with a range of other collectables and decorative items for the home.

Ideal for those looking for interior design inspiration or simply that unique piece for your home. Our auctions offer a wide variety of styles, not bound by period; we span centuries of design that cater to a range of tastes. Remarkable Rooms features lifestyle categories from interesting furniture and works of art to the highest quality contemporary furnishings for the modern home.

From entire house contents to single pieces, our department specialists can advise you on all aspects of buying and selling your antiques and furniture at auction. Specialist valuations for insurance and probate can be arranged and our expert team is able to offer valuations for large and heavy items. Transport for such items can also be arranged through our in-house service.
