Founded in 1826, Lyon & Turnbull is one of the UK’s premiere auction houses and has rapidly grown to become one of the United Kingdom’s leading fine art and luxury auctioneers. With locations in three major economic centres of the UK - London, Edinburgh and Glasgow - our flagship London sale MODERN MADE, champions the very best of Modern, Post-War & Contemporary Art, Modern Design, Modern & Contemporary Studio Ceramics and Craft. From ceramics to glass, silversmithing to jewellery, textiles to furniture making, Crafts have played a complicated and multifaceted role in the culture, sociology and history of contemporary Britain that has sometimes been overlooked. However, Lyon & Turnbull are dedicated to the development and nurturing of this market. Our specialist Design team regularly offer works by the leading figures in the movement including John Makepeace, Wendy Ramshaw, Akiko Hirai, Jim Partridge, Peter Collingwood, and Lucie Rie.
