Private Sales

The work
no one will see pass.

Most great works never appear in public. We operate upstream of the market — where the market remains unseen.

Confidential acquisitions

For collectors in search of a precise work — a name, a period, a format. We source off-market and represent the buyer through to signature.

Flat fees only. Never a seller's commission.

Discreet disposals

For collectors wishing to release a work without public exposure: collection arbitrage, estate restructuring, family transmission.

We identify qualified acquirers and preserve the full confidentiality of the transaction.

Four movements. No noise.

01

Mandate

A precise definition of the acquisition or disposal criteria, and of the desired degree of discretion.

02

Sourcing

Activation of our private network: estates, institutional collections, international partners.

03

Negotiation

Discreet representation and negotiation of terms, with full respect for the market.

04

Closing

Due diligence, contracting, secure transport and installation.
