Art, antiques and rare books bought in the UK for you
London is one of the world's leading art and auction markets, and the UK is rich in antiques: Portobello Road, the dealers of the Cotswolds, antiques fairs across the country, and rare book towns such as Hay-on-Wye. We act as your representative.
We can view a piece on your behalf, send you detailed photos, buy from a gallery or dealer, and collect items won at auction.
Some cultural goods need an export licence to leave the UK depending on their age and value. We tell you if this applies, handle the procedure and work with specialised packers and shippers.
Every request is different, so we quote each one individually. Asking for a quote is free and without obligation.
