As a full-service art advisory firm, we help clients create their own high-calibre, personalised art collections which can be a source of enjoyment for many years – yet, saleable again should that be desired.
Independence is critical to the integrity of our buying service. We are not on commission to any gallery or auction house. Nevertheless, the importance of personal connections within the world of fine art cannot be understated; we have close contacts with (amongst others) the many establishments listed to the right.
These contacts mean that we often have early access to private treaty sales, auction previews and galleries launching new bodies of work. As a result of approaches by auction houses, we have been involved in putting in place guarantee arrangements between them, their buyers and their sellers. We also commission art or objects to fit precisely to a brief created between the client and ourselves.

In summing up Vanessa educates, introduces, advises, sources and negotiates (having saved us more than any commissions we have paid) but never imposes. We would not consider any purchase without her input.”
