As well as natural history and taxidermy sales, we, like every auction house, deal with ivory at some point.

It is imperative we are doing so responsibly and legally as well as being up to date with changing regulations.

We’d also like to learn about best practice in responding to public perception of antique objects with CITES-protected materials.”

Jane Tennant Director, Tennants Auctioneers

“I deal in antique portrait miniatures and as such some 90% of my stock is painted on antique ivory. It is vital, therefore, that I keep up to date with the ever-changing restrictions on the selling of antique ivory.”
