Charles Hanson's passion for antiques is infectious. The flamboyant auctioneer is well known for his TV appearance, amazing finds and his unquenchable desire to make new discoveries. From a £650,000 Chinese vase used as a doorstop to childhood drawings by King Charles of  'Mummy' and 'Papa', Charles is always making news. 

 

Hansons Royal Tunbridge Wells opened in February 2023 . “ Joining Robert and his team at The Pantiles Arcade was an unmissable opportunity. It is a centre of excellence that Tunbridge Wells can be proud of. The blend of best of breed retailers with the most highly regarded of experts and valuers made this compelling"   The Kent office is led by Robin Fletcher, a man with huge knowledge and experience in the industry.

 

Charles, whose working life began at Christie’s in London, is frequently on The Pantiles to advise on any treasures that may have tucked away at home. In addition, regular auctions will serve the area to support and enhance the town's reputation as a centre of excellence for antiques and collectables.
