Sourcing and acquisition of exceptional assetsArt, watches, wine, cars, jewellery
We search, authenticate and negotiate collectible assets for you on the open market and off-market: works of art, collector watches, jewellery and stones, rare wines and spirits, collector cars, signed furniture. We represent your interest, not the seller's.
The most sought-after assets never pass through the usual channels. Wait-listed watches circulate among collectors, major works change hands within the closed circle of private dealers, exceptional cellars are sold by private treaty. Our role is to open those circuits on your behalf, with independent expertise and systematic provenance verification.
We are not a dealer and receive no commission from the seller. Our search mandate is agreed with you upfront, in full transparency. This is what guarantees a conflict-free selection, guided by your search brief alone.
