Chorley's

Chorley’s auction house is based at Prinknash Abbey Park near Cheltenham.

It started out as Simon Chorley Art & Antiques Ltd which launched in 2006 out of the art and antiques department of the Gloucestershire firm Bruton Knowles.

Chorley’s changed hands in late 2022, with director Thomas Jenner-Fust buying the business with former colleague and friend Werner Freundel.
