INVENTORY / ADVICE / OPTIMISATION / ARBITRATION / NEGOCIATION / VALUE-ADDING / GUARANTEE

Buyers:

We undertake research with you and assist you in finding the works of art you are looking for. We provide in-depth advice for individuals, interior decorators and designers as well as fund managers to source, authenticate, appraise, negotiate or bid for the purchase of works.

Based in Melbourne (Australia) we regularly travel throughout Australia, Asia, Europe and the United States, drawing on a significant international network. We accompany clients and collectors on buying trips to visit dealers, workshops, galleries, exhibitions, auction viewings and sales.

Sellers:

In order to maximise the sale of a work of art or a collection, we conduct a market study based on our international experience. We act on your behalf to obtain the best conditions for your assets by negotiating with collectors, galleries, auction houses or museums.
