Meeting with a group of learned collectors got us discussing ‘What do we do with our vast collections and unique bespoke pieces when local shows and conferences just don’t bring the keen eyes of like-minded connoisseurs. So, we got to talking about developing a platform with all of us contributing our specialty and years of experience, and so, as the name suggests, we have borne our platform of ‘23 collectors’ auction group.
Our passion is your passion. Antiquities, rare collectables, unusual and conversational pieces, unique and specialised history, together, supported by 23 collectors, we will bring you something to talk about every auction.
To add credibility to this, we have engaged a number of well-known and reputable consultants, adding support and trust to the items you find. Their knowledge and experience lends to you, the customer, confidence in the item’s authenticity, detail and provenance.
We will also be looking at sending short articles for collector’s interested in rare items of interest, what to look for in a fake and ‘did you know’ articles about niche collectables.
23 Collectors say thank you…
