Our Services
• Curating Meaning
Advisory on acquisitions and collection development that goes beyond the market. We help define the cultural coherence, intellectual depth and future direction of your collection, ensuring that each work is not only a financial asset but part of a meaningful narrative. By protecting the integrity of the whole, we ensure your collection reflects both personal vision and cultural significance.
• Traceability & the value of art
Clear provenance is now a sine qua non for legitimacy, value and transmission. We undertake rigorous provenance research and compliance with AMLD regulations, producing authoritative reports that can be relied upon by notaries, insurers, auction houses and future heirs. This transforms each work from an isolated object into a fully recognised cultural and financial asset.
• Estate planning for collectors & the value of Legacy Care
Succession planning is about foresight and structure. We prepare neutral and structured dossiers for notaries, lawyers and fiscal experts including updated valuation reports, cataloguing, provenance mapping and compliance documentation. Anticipating the needs of every professional involved, we ensure that transitions are seamless, that collections remain intact and that the family’s vision is respected across generations.
• Art, Legacy and Philanthropy
Collections can extend their impact beyond the family. We advise on aligning artworks and cultural assets with philanthropic strategies, ensuring donations or endowments are legally sound, fiscally optimised and culturally relevant. This creates a legacy that resonates both privately and publicly, connecting art with social purpose.
• Set Design and Display
We design environments where artworks are seen at their best from TEFAF booths and auction house viewing rooms to museum scenographies, private homes and catalogue photography sets. Passionate about the synergy of art, design and architecture, we create displays that honour historical context while embracing contemporary relevance, ensuring artworks speak clearly to their audiences.
