rdf:langString Noonans Mayfair, formerly Dix Noonan Webb, is an auction house based in London. It specialises in coins, medals, jewellery and paper money. Since being established, the firm has sold over 400,000 lots. Noonans was established in 1990 as Buckland Dix and Wood. The name was changed to Dix Noonan Webb in 1996 and to its present name in 2022. It holds regular traditional auctions throughout the year. As of March 2022, the founders are CEO and chairman Pierce Noonan, deputy chairman and managing director Nimrod Dix, and director of numismatics Christopher Webb. Frances Noble heads the jewellery department. Matthew Richardson, curator of social history at Manx National Heritage, suggests that the company are "Britain's foremost auctioneers of military medals". In 2010, The Independent called the firm "a prominent London auction house, specialising in militaria". Noonans is the largest numismatics auctioneer in London; it had £11.7m of total hammer sales in 2018. In September 2019, it increased its buyer's premium to 24%, becoming the first UK numismatics auctioneer to go above 20%. During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, the company donated 5% of all buyer's premiums to the NHS Charities Together Covid-19 Appeal for a total of £24,879. The firm experienced a record level of website traffic during the COVID lockdown; according to the CEO, "people were stuck at home with little else to spend their money on." Noonans Mayfair is mentioned in Jeffrey Archer's 2019 novel Nothing Ventured, in which a character is encouraged to visit the firm because they are specialists in Spanish cob coins.
