Private Sales

Some pieces are best placed quietly. Our private sale service connects sellers directly with serious collectors — no public listing, no auction timeline.

How it works

  1. 1. Tell us about the piece. Share a description, provenance, and photos if you have them. Every conversation is confidential.
  2. 2. We evaluate and advise. Our specialists will give you an honest assessment of value and whether a private placement or auction will serve you best.
  3. 3. We make the match. We present the piece discreetly to collectors we know are looking, and negotiate on your behalf.

When private sales make sense

  • You'd prefer the sale — or the price — stays private.
  • The piece suits a specific collector rather than the open market.
  • You want to sell on your own timeline, not the auction calendar.
