Our Client-First Process

Phase 1: Bespoke Consultation

We conduct a thorough client consultation to deeply engage with your preferences, objectives, and budgetary parameters.

PHASE 2: Research and Sourcing

We perform rigorous market research to pinpoint artworks that resonate with your tastes and investment objectives.

PHASE 3: Negotiation & Procurement

We leverage our negotiated discounts with top dealers to secure the most advantageous terms for you.

PHASE 4: Post-purchase Support

After purchase, we offer continuous support and advisory services to ensure your complete satisfaction and ongoing advancement of your collecting goals.

AUCTION GUARANTEE ADVISORY

We can also support you during negotiations for auction guarantees. Guarantees can be powerful tools: they create opportunity, minimize risk, and unlock financial upside in a highly competitive market. Whether you're consigning a work or looking to act as a third-party guarantor, we guide you through every step — independently and discreetly

What’s a Guarantee?

An auction guarantee is a pre-arranged minimum price for a work.

  • Sellers get price certainty and potential bonus upside.
  • Buyers (as guarantors) gain early access and financial returns.


Our ADVISORY Services Include:

  • Strategic advice on guarantees.
  • Direct negotiation with auction houses.
  • Confidential representation.
  • Risk mitigation + upside participation.
  • Market insights to inform decisions.
