Onslows Auctioneers
Auctions of Vintage Posters and Ephemera
Onslows was established in 1984 and specialises in the sale of Vintage Advertising and Travel Posters, Propaganda Posters of the two World Wars. We were pioneers in the development of the market in vintage posters, they now recognised as a serious collecting area and attract buyers from all corners of the World. Prices for the most collectible posters have seen meteoric
growth.
Over twenty-six years we have sold many remarkable collections of posters. Notable discoveries include the £200,000 worth of London and North Eastern Railway posters stored under a station platform in Norfolk; another similar collection found under the bed of a railwaymen's widow sold for £300,000 and then there was the London Taxi driver who had what he called an art gallery in his attic this turned out to be a rare find of original artwork for Railway posters. And most recently the man from Dublin who found a roll of White Star Titanic posters in a roof space, these sold for £20,000.
The Poster market has benefited hugely from the introduction of the internet, the original poster being easily catalogued, illustrated and with accurate condition reports given to buyers. They are easy and inexpensive to ship as well. In these financially troubled times they without doubt have become a great alternative investment, and they look fabulous hanging on the wall too.
