Welcome to Mitchells Fine Art Auction

Established in 1873 and based on the fringe of the Lake District Mitchells Fine Art Auctioneers hold quarterly Antique Furniture and Fine Art sales, specialist sales of Fishing Tackle and Sporting Guns as well as a weekly General Sale of Victoriana and later furnishings and effects.

The Mitchells saleroom is located in the historic Cumbrian market town of Cockermouth and we provide a full range of auction and valuation services.

We are Cumbria’s only member of the prestigious Society of Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers (SOFAA) and are regarded as a leading provincial Auction House. We hold world record prices for paintings by Cumbrian artists, including Sheila Fell (1931-1979) at £28,000 and Edward Horace Thompson (1879-1949) at £9,200.
