The Process
How We Work
From consultation to white-glove delivery, our proven 6-step process ensures you find the perfect pieces
Consultation
We begin with a detailed discussion of your requirements — style, period, budget, dimensions, and intended use. Whether you're furnishing a hotel lobby or seeking a single statement piece, we listen carefully to understand your vision.
Sourcing & Research
Our team searches across our European network: auction houses, private dealers, the Marché aux Puces, trade-only showrooms, and private collections. We access inventory that never reaches public listings.
Curation & Proposal
We present a curated selection of options that match your criteria, with comprehensive documentation including descriptions, photographs, provenance information, and our professional assessment of authenticity and condition.
Negotiation & Acquisition
Once you've selected your piece, we handle all negotiations on your behalf. Our industry relationships and expertise ensure you receive a fair price. We also coordinate any necessary restoration or customisation.
Logistics & Delivery
We arrange specialist shipping and delivery worldwide. From customs clearance to final placement in your space, we handle every detail with care.
After-Sales Support
Our relationship doesn't end at delivery. We provide ongoing support for maintenance, restoration referrals, and future sourcing needs.
Pricing
Transparent & Fair
Sourcing Fee
£500 – £2,000
Upfront, non-refundable fee based on project scope. Credited against final commission on successful acquisition.
Commission
15 – 20%
Percentage of final purchase price. Competitive with industry standards and fully transparent. No hidden fees.
Example: For a £25,000 antique purchase with an 18% commission, your total investment would be £29,500. The sourcing fee is credited, bringing the final commission to £3,000.
