Selling

A private sale, on your terms.

For owners who would rather not see a family piece in a sale catalogue, or who want time to find the right buyer.

Willem van Haecht, The Gallery of Cornelis van der Geest, 1628. Rubenshuis, Antwerp.

The work stays yours until you are paid

We act for you under a written mandate. Title remains with you until the price has been paid in full, and the work stays where it is until there is a reason to move it.

You decide who is told about it. Every offer reaches you on the day it is made, including the ones we think you should refuse.

How a sale proceeds

  1. Conversation

    A first meeting in confidence, with the work and whatever papers you have.

  2. Examination

    Ownership and history are checked, and the work is submitted to independent specialists for an opinion on authorship, date and condition.

  3. Introduction

    The work is offered privately to one party at a time, and viewed by appointment.

  4. Completion

    A written agreement between you and the buyer, secure payment, and insured delivery.
