“We want to make it more convenient for private buyers who are working during the week and others who visit Shrewsbury at the weekend,” explained Halls Fine Art director Richard Allen.
“In recent months, we have found that our sales are attracting an increasing number of private buyers and we hope that by offering a Saturday morning viewing it will encourage even more to visit our salerooms.”
To coincide with the pre-sale Saturday viewing from 10am to 1pm, Halls will also be encouraging the public to bring antiques for a free valuation and advisory session with its team of experts. There will also be a later viewing from 5pm to 8pm on the Monday before a sale.

Halls Fine Art of Shrewsbury are to change their regular antiques sales from a Friday to a Wednesday from September. The firm’s Welsh Bridge salerooms will open for a pre-sale public viewing on Saturday mornings for its fine art and antiques sales in a bid to attract a wider public audience.
