Overture Auctions is run by Matt Tarbuck and Steve Underhill,  two antique dealers with a passion for the industry and a desire to help people buy and sell treasured items.

 

The genesis for Overture Auctions has come from Matt’s background working in the theatre industry, with the need to find a new home for all sorts of items at the end of a production, presenting a problem for many companies. Outside of theatre Matt has also been dealing in antiques at fairs, online and at centres.  Through various iterations and trails to two things began to dovetail.

 

In 2022 Matt took up an area in Antiques at Wendover  where he met Steve, a dealer with 40 years experience and phenomenal knowledge across a wide spectrum of the market. Steve’s particular interests lie in early Early English Pottery and Porcelain, Coins, Militaria and Glassware. Alongside his dealing Steve has launched a number of successful business.

 

Lots of coffee was drunk, ideas formed and in 2024 Overture Auctions began to become a reality.

 

As we launch in early 2025 we aim to offer our customers a premium online experience, for buyers there will be quality listing pictures, video condition reports, postage/delivery and clear, competitive fees. For sellers we aim to offer a friendly, fair and transparent service, offering the best advice as well as getting your treasured items seen by the right buyers.

​

We hope you will join us on this exciting journey, and we’re always happy to have a chat about old and dusty things.
