Specialist Antique Medical Instrument Valuations

Flints Medical Instruments Department holds Fine Auctions twice a year. These sales are very well publicised, with advertisements in relevant publications, social media and at antique fairs.

Our Fine Medical Antique auctions offer instruments and artefacts from the earliest periods to the mid 20th century and contain a wide range of subjects. We welcome enquiries from both sellers and buyers on individual items or collections in the following areas:

  • Surgical instruments, including amputation sets
  • Obstetric & gynaecological instruments
  • Dental instruments & other dentistry antiques
  • Spectacles, ear trumpets & other therapeutic/functional aids

If you wish to sell your medical antiques we welcome single items, or entire collections. We will advise on current market value and help you achieve the best price. Flints take great care to research and properly present the antiques and collectables we sell, and we reach enthusiasts, dealers, collectors, museums and galleries worldwide with our extensive client database and auction presentation on multiple platforms.

Matt started as an electrical engineer and worked for Harrods, amongst others, as a senior project engineer and pursued his professional qualifications to become chartered. However, all along his real passion was in the world of antiques, and he became a full-time antique dealer back in 2006 running Apsley Antiques Ltd. At this time he took over the ownership and running of the London Scientific and Medical Antique fair which he ran for six years.

His areas of specialism are early optical instruments with a particular emphasis on the history of microscopy, and early technology from early electrical equipment to steam engines.
