Celebrating Georgian Heritage | Sworders' Auction in Support of The Georgian Group

Sworders is delighted to be partnering with The Georgian Group for this special fundraising auction. Founded in 1937 in response to growing threats to Georgian architecture, proceeds from the auction will go directly towards The Group’s conservation and education initiatives, supporting their vital advisory role in protecting 18th- and early 19th-century buildings across Britain. Funds will also contribute to the refurbishment of the Group’s Fitzroy Square headquarters, and to nationwide outreach and educational programmes marking the charity’s 90th anniversary in 2027. 

Curated by Sworders' Chairman, Guy Schooling, the sale features items generously donated by Georgian Group members, collectors and institutions. Sworders is waiving all selling costs for the event – with no vendor’s commission and no buyer’s premium – ensuring that every pound raised supports The Georgian Group’s vital work.
