Grown over decades, assembled with devotion: a collection is always a piece of someone’s life.
Your own – or that of someone you loved, whose legacy is now in your hands. When a collection has to be appraised, dispersed, or sold, emotion meets market reality. That is exactly where I work – comprehensively, with sensitivity, discreetly, and in the shortest possible time.
Survey & first assessment
Discreet, on site, without obligation – you find out what you have and what it is worth.
Strategy
Auction, direct sale, donation, or loan – whatever serves your goals, not the market’s.
Project management
Cataloging, photography, printed auction catalog, press, execution – all from one hand.
Network & placement
Auction houses, experts, conservators, logistics – the right buyer for every quality and price range.
Certification & authentication
Guiding the process, including AI-assisted methods.
The entire collection, not just the highlights – I take on the inconvenient parts too.
Initial consultation →“Three days, 1,500 lots, over 10,000 objects – and every single piece found a new home.”
When the Staatliche Majolika Manufaktur Karlsruhe closed after more than 120 years, I led the project from the first vision through to execution: cataloging, 8,000 printed catalogs, intensive press work, three auction days. Every object started at 100 euros – so that anyone at all had the chance to own a piece of Majolica history.

You own a collection, or are facing an estate?
I will look at the situation without obligation and in confidence – and I will tell you honestly if an auction is not worth it.
