Effective art collection management becomes essential as collections grow in both size and complexity. Household staff are often entrusted with this responsibility, but they may lack the specialised skills to handle intricate details. Similarly, while art advisors or gallery owners may offer valuable insights, they might not possess the expertise for the day-to-day needs of a collection. Consulting a specialist can help to prevent both short-term and long-term risks to artworks, preserving integrity and avoiding costly errors.

These services are tailored to meet the specific needs of collectors, institutions, and private individuals. My consultancy is driven by museum-standard practices. Committed to safeguarding cultural heritage while ensuring each collection receives the specialised care it deserves. This enhances its longevity, value, and accessibility.
