Helping you to achieve the best possible return

In our experience, original collections are often best sold intact to preserve their unique appeal. If we think a better price will be obtained by offering your property as a number of lots however, we will use our expertise to lot your material to its best advantage.

Whether you are a collector of modest means or have a collection of award-winning calibre, you will receive the same meticulous care and attention from our experts and be able to depend upon their advice.
