Sourcing the Finest
Finding treasures is a difficult task. Imagine wanting to discover something untouched, unworn, and sometimes forgotten about for 100 years. The ability to secure some of the finest works of art of this century is often a long process. Sometimes finding the location of these pieces is a simpler task than making them available. We take pride in facilitating these transactions and look forward to working with each and every client.
