Our signature format

Private auctions, curated for a closed circle.

Our principal business: invitation-only auctions of Western modern and contemporary art, fine jewelry and Chinese porcelain. Each sale is tightly curated and offered to a qualified circle of collectors — conducted without public catalogue or published results.

Invitation only

Participation is by qualification and invitation. Collectors join a discreet circle with first access to exceptional works.

Curated with conviction

Small, focused sales — never volume for its own sake. Every work is vetted for authorship, condition and provenance.

Absolute discretion

No public catalogue, no published prices, no exposure. Bidding is confidential; results stay within the room.

Beyond the saleroom, we also transact by private treaty and advise collectors on allocation and collection strategy.

Areas of expertise

Depth in every discipline we touch.

Our private auctions and advisory concentrate on three areas where connoisseurship matters most — each handled with the same discretion and rigor.

Western Modern & Contemporary

Post-war masters to the most consequential living artists — acquired and allocated as assets.

Chinese Porcelain

From Song classics to imperial Qing — vetted for authenticity, provenance and condition.

Placing a work privately

A considered route from first look to final placement.

Begin with a few details about the work. A clear, structured enquiry makes the first conversation more useful — and everything that follows stays confidential.

01

Share the essentials

Note the artist, dimensions, materials, condition and anything known about provenance.

02

Review the opportunity

The right buyer, timing and structure depend on the work and the market around it.

03

Place with discretion

Precise documentation, quiet outreach and informed negotiation bring the work to the right collector.

04

Follow the result

A transparent post-sale summary keeps every next step clear.
