DORE & REES
Dore & Rees, established in Frome in 1868, has a longstanding and cherished position in Somerset and the South West. Having built up a loyal community following offering regular general auctions of antiques, furnishing, works of art and collectables, Dore & Rees is adding specialist auctions including Asian Art, Twentieth Century Design and more. Led by Mark Rees since 1984, the saleroom is now under the leadership of Lee Young, known to many as a BBC Antiques Roadshow expert with a leading position in the field of Asian Art. Lee’s first year of holding Fine Asian Art auction at Dore & Rees in May and November 2021 at their Frome auction saleroom was a success. Lee held multiple auctions since, most notably The Antony Lovett Collection on 6 November 2023, with significant growth year on year. Fine Asian Art auctions continue in 2024, on 20 May and 11 November.
