Adam Partridge

Adam Partridge is an auction house specialising in antiques and fine art that opened in Macclesfield, Cheshire in 2008. It is owned by auctioneer Adam Partridge who has featured on TV programmes including Bargain Hunt and Flog it.

The business launched a sister saleroom in Liverpool in 2011 after taking over The Liverpool Auction Rooms. In 2023, the firm announced that it had acquired Bainbridges in Ruislip, west London as well as The Hele saleroom (previously Auction Antiques) which operates from an old cider factory eight miles north of Exeter.
