Our philosophy
The acquisition of a work of art is first and foremost a question of meeting.

We do that smugglers of images and emotions, the instruments of this meeting. These objects that populate the gallery their souls are here to touch, but also to witness a story, and that's where come into play.
To ensure that this experience is as memorable as possible, we strive to accomplish our task with serioussness and professionalism. For that story outcrops, we collect essential to its constitution. We check the provenance of all objects we are offered, and then we will investigate and datons conscientiously so that they deliver their secrets. We do not hesitate to seek the views of experts in art history and archaeologists.

In this context, we have developed a specific protocol:

1. Gathering information on the origin and the dates of purchases required.

2. Checking with databases of this information and verification, to the extent possible that these objects are not of criminal origin.

3. Studies stylistic and historical iconographic.

4. Scientific studies if necessary.

5. European opinion of men of Art: restaurateurs, sculptors...
