Art Dealing
Collectively our strong team has invaluable experience in the fields of fine art. This experience embraces a deep understanding of the art market over the past thirtyfive years, a high degree of academic excellence, a solid grounding in the commercial aspect of art sales and considerable experience in dealing with inheritance tax issues and estates. Furthermore we have built up a widespread network to collectors, art dealers, experts and auctioneers worldwide. Over the years we have found that our clients, both private and institutional, have come to value the discretion we offer when buying and selling works of art on their behalf.
Art Advisory
The finding, purchase and sale of an impressionist, expressionist, modern, post-war or contemporary work of art is one of the greatest challenges to us. This includes advice and expertise on forming and maintaining individual or corporate collections. Equally, we specialise in helping sellers dispose of works of art discreetly, efficiently and hassle-free.
