Company Information

Mitchells Auction Company was established in 1873 as a multidiscipline firm serving the needs of the local community as Auctioneers of both Livestock and Furniture as well as providing Land and Estate Agency services.

The company has steadily evolved over the last 135 years and has recently relocated its Livestock and Land Agency divisions to an agricultural park on the outskirts of Cockermouth.

The Furniture and Fine Arts Saleroom, alongside the Residential Estate Agency, 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 twenty years and having being 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 of just over £500,000.
