Leading auctioneers to host valuation day in Forres in aid of Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland

ONE of the United Kingdom’s premiere fine art and antiques auctioneers is holding a valuation day in Forres to raise funds for Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland.

Lyon and Turnbull will host the valuation day at St Leonard's Church on Saturday, July 29, between noon and 4pm.

The day is the ideal chance for people in the area to have any family treasures viewed and appraised by experts.

All of Lyon and Turnbull's specialist departments will be represented, from jewellery and silver to paintings, ceramics, Asian art, and furniture.

Valuations cost £10 for the first three items and £5 for additional items, with all proceeds going to Scotland’s leading health charity, Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland. Any additional donations to the charity will also be welcomed.

Kier Mulholland, Silver Specialist at Lyon and Turnbull and event organiser, said: “Our team are very much looking forward to visiting Forres and sharing their knowledge to help raise funds for the important work Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland carries out across the country.”

Jayne Forbes, assistant director of fundraising at Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland commented: “We are very grateful to the team at Lyon and Turnbull for choosing us as their charity of the year, and to benefit from the proceeds of the valuation day.

"The funds raised from this fantastic initiative will go towards supporting those people in Scotland with chest, heart and stroke conditions to live their lives to the full.

"We are excited to see what treasures are uncovered!"

There will be an opportunity to purchase Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland merchandise at the event, with representatives from the charity’s retail team attending.

This is an open valuation day, however, if you prefer to make an appointment or would like further information, please contact Kier Mulholland on 0131 557 8844 or kier.mulholland@lyonandturnbull.com. For larger items of furniture photographs are acceptable.
