I have had two dealings with this company, and both were excellent because of Rachael. She knows her business very well and is extremely competent in doing so. I watched her deal with all kinds of personalities, some very tough, and she handled that pressure while maintaining her calm. My emails were returned very quickly. The auctions were organized entirely and with such volume to deal with I thought there would be some confusion, but to my delight, Rachael and her team rose to the occasion Read more
George R. Gardner held his first auction in London, Ontario in 1922. One of his early sales was selling horses for the City of London when they switched from horse-drawn to gas-powered trucks. Some of his major sales include 'Tecumseh House', at one time the largest hotel in the British Commonwealth, and the contents of many of London's finest homes.Shortly after serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force in World War II, George's son, Jason, became his partner in the business. When George Gardner passed away unexpectedly in 1952, Jason carried on as auctioneer and appraiser. He purchased his first permanent auction house at 2 Langarth Street West, London in 1960. He sold for Fyfe's of Edinburgh throughout Canada, and made international headlines when he was hired by a Toronto syndicate to auction antiques from Castro's Cuba.
