Art Advisory

Building a collection of art is a deeply personal journey. Whether you are searching for a single significant piece or looking to create a considered collection over time, I offer a discreet and tailored advisory service to help clients discover artworks with meaning, quality and lasting appeal. With specialist knowledge of 19th and 20th century European art, I assist private collectors, homeowners and interior designers in sourcing exceptional paintings that complement both their personal taste and their surroundings. From initial consultation through to acquisition, I provide guidance throughout the process, drawing upon over twenty years of experience in researching, selecting and placing artworks.

 

 

A personalised search for artworks that meet your requirements, whether you are looking for a particular artist, period, subject or style. I use my network of contacts and market knowledge to source works that may not be readily available, helping clients find pieces that are both aesthetically and historically significant.

 

 

For existing collectors, I offer guidance on building and refining a collection — identifying opportunities, understanding the significance of works already owned, and creating a more cohesive and considered collection.

 

 

When artworks are passed down through generations, it can be difficult to know where to begin. I provide discreet guidance for families seeking to understand the history, importance and potential value of inherited paintings. This can include researching artists and artworks, offering historical context and advising on the best next steps. Every artwork has a story, and understanding that story is often the first step in making informed decisions.

 

 

I work alongside interior designers and private clients to source artwork that enhances and completes thoughtfully designed spaces. Whether sourcing a single statement piece or curating a collection for an entire property, I provide a considered approach that balances interior style with artistic integrity.

 

 

Navigating auctions can be complex. I offer advice on suitable works, market context and purchasing strategy, including auction guidance, pre-bid strategy, and discreet bidding on behalf of clients where appropriate.

 

 

I believe that collecting art should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. My role is to provide knowledge, insight and reassurance, helping clients make confident decisions when acquiring, understanding or caring for artworks. Whether you are beginning your collecting journey, expanding an existing collection or seeking guidance with inherited works, I offer a personal and discreet service tailored to your individual needs. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
