Our signature format
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.
Participation is by qualification and invitation. Collectors join a discreet circle with first access to exceptional works.
Small, focused sales — never volume for its own sake. Every work is vetted for authorship, condition and provenance.
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
Our private auctions and advisory concentrate on three areas where connoisseurship matters most — each handled with the same discretion and rigor.
FocusPost-war masters to the most consequential living artists — acquired and allocated as assets.
FocusSigned pieces, important stones and exceptional design.
FocusFrom Song classics to imperial Qing — vetted for authenticity, provenance and condition.
Placing a work privately
Begin with a few details about the work. A clear, structured enquiry makes the first conversation more useful — and everything that follows stays confidential.
Note the artist, dimensions, materials, condition and anything known about provenance.
The right buyer, timing and structure depend on the work and the market around it.
Precise documentation, quiet outreach and informed negotiation bring the work to the right collector.
A transparent post-sale summary keeps every next step clear.
