Private Sales

Sold quietly

A private sale carries no public estimate, no catalogue date and no record of an unsold lot. The work is shown to a shortlist of collectors drawn from our preferred access register, and the transaction is concluded in confidence.

How it works

Three stages

01

Appraisal

A specialist examines the work, assembles the ownership record and gives a written opinion of value. No obligation follows.

02

Placement

The work is shown privately to collectors whose interests match it. Nothing is published, listed or advertised.

03

Settlement

Terms are agreed directly between the parties. Condition, transport and insurance are handled by the house.
