Collections
Our collection is a collaboration of pieces offered on behalf of private collections and pieces chosen for their integrity, exceptional design, quality of craftsmanship.
Identifying and locating works of both fine and decorative art is our primary expertise.
Our work with many of England’s historic collections offers us the privilege of offering important pieces from their original collections. We are particularly interested in sourcing pieces which have not come to the open market and are thus, ideally, in an original, untouched condition. Our access to private collections and pieces is complemented by constantly liaising with specialists, viewing hundreds of auctions weekly and maintaining contact with dealers around the world.
In addition to the pieces offered on this website we have pieces available in multiple fields.
Sales
We are available to assist with the sale of a single great work of art or an entire collection. As advisors, we believe it is vital that our clients are guided through the many ways of offering pieces for sale and that they are protected from potential weaknesses in the art market.
