The Swan at Tetsworth, Auction Room & Antiques Centre

Great eclectic selection in quirky old buildings, definitely unsuitable for the lame.If the cafe is not open, the pub/shop is 100 yards away.They try to stick to marked prices below £50, but that's the fun of the game....

Dodgy auctioneers.. placed an online bid on an item, I was the only bidder so on the live auction they passed the lot.. when I questioned why I had not won the item my emails were ignored, which they were quiet happy to reply to before the auction ended.. clearly they wasn't happy with the items sale price and decided to not sell to me.. pretty sure thats illegal!.. be warned...

Amazing professional and experienced service. Dealt with a young man called Joe and owner Tom. They both made it an easy and enjoyable experience. Girl on front counter that I believe her name was jaya was so friendly and helpful. If your even slightly interested in antiques I can't recommend the swan enough.

Do not bid on anything unless you have seen it in flesh. The images online are low resolution and the descriptions inaccurate and misleading. I bought some Chinese porcelain panels to discover, after spending a fortune for delivery, to be printed industrial tiles but listed as Porcelain. Worthless Items like that should have no place in any auction. I don't know wheter they are just incompetent or disonest.Porcelain? Take a look at the pictures..., would you call this material PORCELAIN? Or just cheap made industrial CERAMIC?There is a big difference between porcelain and ceramic, but of course you must have a bit of knowledge....

Amazing Sunday lunch - food was amazing, staff were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend and can't wait to go here again!

Very interesting (wonky) old building housing 3 floors of antiques from various corners of the world. Fantastic place to mooch around if you have a few hours to spare. They have monthly auctions held in one of the big rooms downstairs. Sensible dogs are welcome which is a really nice touch too...

I just wanted to say that I have been in the Swan antiques several times over the years and recently a bit more often. The warm welcome I receive every time has been noticed. I have experienced an amazing service and help with purchasing a painting that my family will love for years to come. Thank you.

I have been visiting here for the last 3 years. I love this vast old building. It has numerous rooms filled with antiques for sale, which are great to wander round. We have bought several items in the auctions too for our house. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The auctions are recommended as well as the shop rooms.

Picked up something I purchased from auction very accommodating lovely things in antique centre

As an antique dealer with 3 shops, i need to keep looking for different auction houses to acquire stock from, well i won't be using Swan's again. i am sure i will get a very polite reply telling me that the item was correctly cataloged blah blah. When i rang up to question what i had purchased for the 3rd time, each time i was told someone would ring me back the receptionist was very nice and went and found someone for me. this lady was not so polite and became very defensive when i questioned the description of what i bought. The item was not older than 5 years and was a modern replica but this was not explained in the description and the clock was incomplete not having a pendulum, where a replacement pendulum will cost more than what the clock is actually worth. the clock was over valued with a guide of £200.00. Never again! i question who does the valuations at this place and whether they actually know what they are doing.
