COLLECTION MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORY

Acquiring objects or fine-tuning a collection under the guidance of an unbiased professional is reassuring.

Disposing of collections or objects with the assistance of a specialist removes the time commitment and stress of the task.

Managing a collection with a proper inventory, and someone who can oversee moving, storage and conservation, results in preparedness and peace of mind.
