Dawsons

Dawsons was founded by chairman and owner Ben Haynes who decided to create an auction business after frequenting other auction houses while building his collection of Rene Lalique car mascots (now on permanent display in the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu).

The firm provides valuation and sales advice for fine jewellery, watches, fine and contemporary art, antiques, and family heirlooms, from its auction logistics centre in Maidenhead, Berkshire, and its valuations office in Hampstead, London.
