Condition Reports

Dreweatts offers you the opportunity to request additional information regarding a Lot through condition reports. Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. Here you can ask about general condition or specific questions you might have about a Lot as well as request additional images to those provided in our catalogues and on our website.

Requests for condition reports must be submitted by 4pm on the day prior to the auction; condition reports may be available alongside the lot description on the online catalogue. Please note that Dreweatts are unable to give verbal condition reports for any lot, and all condition reports will be given in writing via our website. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. See our terms and conditions

You can request condition reports via the lot listing on the website or by contacting us: +44 (0) 1635 553 553 | info@dreweatts.com
