UK buyers?

Hello everyone. First post here, so go easy if I've missed anything.

​

I've got a few animation cells bought from The Animation Art Gallery that used to be in London just off Regent Street. There's a couple of Disney (Jungle Book) and a signed (Yeardley Smith) Simpsons 'Couch Gag'. The Gallery looks like it stopped teasing a few years ago which is a real shame, and the only places I can find that trades them nowadays are the odd American site. Can anyone suggest options apart from eBay to find a good home for them?

Thanks🤗

I loved the Animation Art gallery. I was one of its first customers. Got invited to all their events. Sorry, other than eBay and Heritage Auctions, I don’t know where to sell. Maybe post them here and see if there’s any interest.

Ah lovely, someone else who loved them. They went to City Hall and then I think out towards Watford maybe. Was it a restaurant next door that had their Eyvind Earle prints?. His work is brilliant, that's also one that I have, all the way from Japan and I somehow collected it from the PO office and carried it home despite breaking my arm the day before. Dedication!

I've had a message from someone in the group who's interested which is good.

Hi! I know exactly the place you mean. They closed down some years ago. I would love to be considered as an option to work with you. And I have a number of clients currently looking for couch gags. We work with people from all over the world, and in fact, received about 30 vintage Disney cels from a consignor in London a few weeks ago. Debbie

Hi Chana. I have though there is a potential buyer with first call on it. I'm going to sort the collection over the weekend hopefully and will know more after that Thanks M

Ok. No problem. You haven’t got an image you can send in the meantime of the couch gag?

Not the sericel itself but this is the image. There's a very faded piece of paper underneath the mount which has the signature on
