The Welsh Sale

The Welsh Sale is the premier fine art auction dedicated to the heritage and culture of Wales. Over the last twenty years, it has evolved into the most successful regional fine art auction in the UK, consistently setting world records for prominent Welsh artists.
 

The flagship Welsh Sale at Rogers Jones & Co functions as far more than a mere commercial event; it serves as a meticulously curated record of Welsh art and history. 

The significance of this auction is underscored by its record-breaking results, including the world record for works by Sir Kyffin Williams and many of his 20th Century Welsh art contemporaries. 

The momentum of the sale continues to grow, as evidenced by a record year in 2025 and in the April 2026 auction, we achieved a ninety-three percent sell-through rate and marked the second-highest total in the event's history. This success is driven by the expert curation of partner Ben Rogers Jones and his team, who provide in-depth knowledge ranging from historic porcelain to modern twentieth-century masters.

The prestige of the auction is further enhanced by its premier locations, with flagship summer sales often held at Gregynog Hall. As one of the spiritual homes of Welsh art, this venue creates a distinguished atmosphere for high-value lots. 

Within these sales, collectors find the very best of Welsh heritage. The fine art category features iconic works by figures such as Sir Kyffin Williams, Donald McIntyre, Gwen John, John Knapp Fisher, Valerie Ganz, Ernest Zobole, Augustus John, John Piper, Ceri Richards and so many more. 

Beyond paintings, the sale highlights exquisite examples of Swansea, Nantgarw, and Llanelly porcelain, as well as traditional vernacular furniture including oak dressers and rare Brynmawr pieces. The selection is rounded out by items of heritage and literature, such as rare books from the Gregynog Press, first editions by Dylan Thomas, and historical maps.

The sale welcomes seasoned collectors and first-time buyers alike, offering bidding in person at the saleroom, via telephone, or through a live online platform.
