Contracted this company to clear the flat of my deceased mother. Two young guys cleared EVERYTHING out of the rented property, including furniture, carpets, ornaments, white goods and food/household products, politely, efficiently, and respectfully. Excellent service.

The guys from Northern House Clearance have just cleared a house for me in Scotland. The house was packed not only with a lifetimes worth of memories, but all the clutter that goes with it. Within 2 days it was emptied down to the floorboards. A great job from a good team of lads. Highly recommended.

An excellent 5 star service. Firstly the compassion shown due to the circumstances which resulted in having to use their services, not just on the phone but by the team who arrived, on time, to perform the job. Above all a friendly attitude goes a long way in stressful times. Professional from the start to the end of the day and due to the amount of clutter a second day was needed. I could not believe how much was cleared in just one day, it was as if the clutter had it's own clutter to clear. Hope that I never need to use them again, but if I have to clear another property they will be the only people that I call. Highly recommend them. G.Hatton. Cheshire.

The team arrived bang on time and began work immediately. They continued for five solid days and completed the entire clearance of my late uncles house, which was a case of extreme hoarding over many decades. They even removed carpets, curtains and swept up so the house was ready for sale. They were exeptionally hard working, polite and charged a reasonable price for this incredibly difficult job. Terrific service, absolutely recommended.

William Beilby Glass | Appraisals And Valuations Online

William Beilby was an eminent glass decorator and enamellist. In 1761, Beilby discovered a method to fuse his enamel paintings with glass using heat, giving rise to a successful family trade. William, his brother Ralph and their sister, Mary became leading advocates of enamelling in Britain during the second half of the 18th century.

They were based in Newcastle upon Tyne and Fife in Scotland where they applied a distinctive white and bluish white enamel onto various glassware for decoration.

Beilby was well known for his depictions of family crests and coats of arms. He produced around 90 recorded heraldic decanters, goblets and wine glasses, mainly with English armorials of which a significant handful depict Royal coats of arms. One of the more historically significant works include the Royal Arms of George III, to commemorate the launch of the slave ship ‘King George’ in 1763.

Apart from insignias, Beilby painted various themes such as hunting, fishing, pastoral scenes, chinese pavilions, classical ruins, exotic birds and beehives. Other motifs include more abstract, organic designs such as vine-scroll and hop-and-barley patterns. Much of his designs used white enamel with pink and blue highlights, with the rim of the glass being typically gilded.

Some of the most prized examples of his craft were the glasses that he produced to commemorate the birth of the Prince of Wales on August 4, 1762. These were fully painted in the colours of the English herald with white mantling and shadowing in other colours.

Original Beilby pieces are rare and extremely valuable. The most recently sold Beilby piece, a fine Prince William V of Orange goblet, was auctioned off by Bonhams in 2011 for a price of £117,000.
Rarer still, are Beilby’s sweetmeat glass and sugar bowl pieces.

Identifying his work should not be challenging due to their distinctive enamel decoration. He also signed his work with either W. Beilby, Beilby Junior or a mark of a butterfly.
