Process management
Our team manage the whole process including research and sourcing and are on hand to help clients at either end of the process. Because they are ‘private’ sales, prices are fixed with the seller in advance and transactions are confidential. Very often, these specialised sales make use of our global network of experts, verifying the chain of custody whilst studying the aesthetics of each piece. Not only do buyers receive unique additions to their collection but also by re-using antiques, environmental protection comes into the equation. Many older items are handmade and timeless in their appeal, meaning they can fit with many types of environments – ideal for interior designers.
Our proven team of experienced experts can assess, evaluate, and facilitate the entire process. As no two clients are alike, we offer a unique, bespoke service catered to your needs.
From liquidation stock to hotel contents, from heavy industrial machinery to fine art and collectables. From high street names to supercars, almost every kind of asset has gone before our gavel.
Our robust infrastructure, international network and world-class marketing strategies allow us to source the ideal buyers for every sale.
Our Operation
Upon contact, our specialists will help assess, identify, and evaluate your assets before suggesting the perfect sales channel.

Our goal with every client is the same, a continuing prosperous relationship, and we work with every seller to ensure that outcome regardless of whether the seller is selling a single lot or a chain of boutique hotels.
With that in mind, we’ll explain the process, take note of desired timeframes and work with you to exceed your expectations wherever we can.

Our shrewd experts and tight marketing mean we have the best chance of reaching the person who desires your goods the most. This translates to the highest ticket prices and the most satisfied buyers.
A 360-degree personalised service
We devote extensive time and effort to authenticating unusual items. Many buyers regard the financial value as a plus point, loving the antique most of all because of the history it holds.
