Mitchells Auction Company was established in 1873 as a multi discipline
firm serving the needs of the local community as auctioneers of
both livestock, furniture and fine arts as well as providing land
and estate agency services.
The Company has steadily evolved over the last 130 years and has
recently re-located its livestock and land agency division to an
agricultural park on the outskirts of Cockermouth.
The
furniture and fine art saleroom remains in Cockermouth and operates
from a splendid Victorian building as a specific business with a
dedicated and friendly team of office and saleroom staff.
The saleroom has increased its profile dramatically over the last
15 years and having been elected to join SOFAA (Society
of Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers) is regarded as a leading provincial
auction house. Membership of SOFAA coincided with the firm’s
record sale at just over £500,000.

The Saleroom is, without doubt, one of the most interesting in
the country. Situated in the heart of Cockermouth in Cumbria, it
occupies a refurbished converted cattle market. The octagonal
sale ring conjures up images of a bygone era and is completely
suited to the sale of antique furniture and effects. Cockermouth,
the birthplace
of William Wordsworth, is a pretty market town situated on the
fringe of the Lake District and is easily accessible being only
25 miles
from Junction 40 of the M6 motorway.
