Antique Ivory Dealers In UK

Hi - my mother has several pieces of antique ivory which she would like to sell. We have contacted a couple of auction houses but they aren't really interested. Does anyone know of someone who might be interested?

Some of the pieces are incredibly high quality e.g Japanese brush pot; large figurine of a Geisha.

 

If you say where you are located, someone may know a decent auction house.
Who have you asked?
Pictures of the items would help. If you post any, select the full size picture option.

 

I'm in Yorkshire. I tried the two major auctioneers in Harrogate.

 

This is what I'm finding. And I have no verification of the age of the pieces, even though they are quite clearly old.

 

My understanding of the CITES rules is that they only aoply to international trade, and with Brexit the EU rules will not apply either. It may be an idea to hang on for a while or sell them privately. 2 of my local auction houses are selling ivory items, presumably ones they are fairly sure are antique enough.

 

I'd be happy to sell to a dealer. Auction houses just seemed like the natural starting point.

 

Could you post pictures of what you have, you may get some suggestions.

 

Thanks.
I'll do some tomorrow and post them.
