Teddy Bears & Dolls

Our auctions include a variety of vintage, antique and collectable toys, dolls, and teddy bears, catering to all types of collectors.   

Our team is experienced in selling large collections, but we also welcome enquiries from those with just a few items to sell. You may have seen collections of dolls and bears go under the hammer on our TV series The Yorkshire Auction House, but you don't need to appear on the programme to sell with us.

Prior to the auction, items are carefully researched, sorted and catalogued by our team of professional valuers, who are highly skilled and experienced in dealing with all types of dolls and bears. The lots are then carefully photographed and published on two online bidding platforms as well as our website, and a notification email is sent to our contact list of thousands of previous customers. As well as hosting in-person buyers on our public viewing days, we receive and respond to hundreds of condition reports every month from remote buyers across the globe, giving your pieces the best possible chance of a successful sale.
