Method
Four rules we keep.
Private sales depend on trust. These are the commitments behind every work we handle.
Discretion
Nothing is advertised or listed. A work is shown to one party at a time, and names are exchanged only when both sides are ready.
Documents first
Before a work is mentioned to anyone we establish who owns it, where it has been, and whether it may leave the country. If that cannot be shown, we do not take it on.
Opinions in full
Questions of authorship and date go to independent scholars and, where useful, to a laboratory. Their conclusions are passed on word for word.
One fee, agreed
Set down in writing before we begin, and paid by one side only.
We would rather lose a sale than describe a work as something it is not.

A few lines are enough: who you are, and whether you wish to sell or to acquire.
