Established in 2004 by Duncan and Elizabeth Chilcott, this independent family firm of Auctioneers & Valuers was founded with an ethos of delivering friendly and professional customer care, with openness and transparency. Since then, the Chilcotts' team has grown in number but still takes pride in maintaining this approach. In 2020 the Company was able to purchase The Dolphin Hotel in the centre of Honiton High Street. After eight months of renovation, this historic coaching inn reopened in May 2021 as 'The Dolphin Salerooms', fully equipped to meet the needs of a modern Auction House. Chilcotts employs specialists and consultants covering the full spectrum of the Art, Antique and Collectors world, between them, Chilcotts' specialists have over ninety years experience; the Company also benefits from experienced Saleroom and Administration staff. The Company's Press Officer, Sue Cade, ensures that our clients' items receive full media coverage. In recognition of Chilcotts' integrity, knowledge and experience, the Company was admitted to membership of The Society of Fine Art Auctioneers in 2013. SOFAA is the United Kingdom's foremost professional organisation seeking to encourage the highest standards of probity and ethics within the Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers industry; Chilcotts is the only firm of auctioneers in East Devon to be members of SOFAA.
