Noonans
Noonans is a London auction house which specialises in coins, medals, militaria, banknotes, jewellery, watches and antiquities.
It was founded in 1990 by Nimrod Dix, Pierce Noonan and Christopher Webb, and was previously known as Dix Noonan Webb. In April 2022 it announced it was changing its name to Noonans, part of a general rebranding rather than indicating any change of ownership
With offices in Mayfair, the specialist auctioneers also handle private treaty sales.
