Paris Fine Art Consulting

Paris Fine Art Consulting offers independent advice, expertise, art management and curatorial services to individual clients, decorators and institutions who wish to acquire or sell works of art privately or through public auction.

For buyers we source objects of beauty and importance from private French collections as well as from dealers and the auction market. We advise sellers on the various options available and often act on their behalf during the transaction.

With over 20 years of experience in the international art market our consulting and advisory services focus entirely on the needs of our clients.

These can range from the purchase or sale of an individual piece to clients wishing to establish a collection of fine art and objects.

We ensure the confidentiality of each transaction as a matter of course.
