Keys is recognised a a "top-tier" (Antiques Trade Gazette) provincial Auction House, and attracts sellers and buyers from all parts of the UK and further afield. Over the past 65 years, Keys has developed into one of the UK's leading provincial Auction Houses, with a reputation which stretches far beyond its East Anglian origins, and now holds a regular programme of around 150 Fine Art, Antique, General, Commercial and Specialist sales covering the whole auction spectrum. Still operating from the same five-acre saleground in Aylsham, Norfolk, as it did in 1953, Keys has a locally-unrivalled team of experts who are able to compete on a national as well as local level. Although firmly established with an international clientele by the 1980s, the advances in technology in recent years have dramatically increased the reach of Keys sales to a new generation of national and international collectors, and today bidders take part live in our auctions via the internet from all areas of the world.
