The company's galleries in London and Glasgow complement the historic Georgian headquarters and main saleroom in Edinburgh. Hosting nearly 40 specialist auctions per year across the UK there is always something to see at Lyon & Turnbull: from jewellery and watches to fine furniture; traditional British and European art to Modern & Contemporary stars; European decorative arts and design to fine Asian art from China and Japan.

One of the most helpful auction houses.
The bidding and post auction went very smoothly. The only issue was on my end. I had to contact my bank and change my Visa card for international use. Both Lyon & Turnbull and Crown Art shipping were great, the object arrived quickly and in perfect condition.
