Our collection spans all of the great art centers of 19th century Europe. These include the Austro-Hungarian Empire where some of the greatest art and music ever known were created. Also represented are the finest traditions of France and the Paris Salon and England and the Royal Academy - creators of a culture of art that never accepted second best. Then came the innovators of the art world of the time, the Barbizon and Impressionist painters, and they changed that world forever.
We strive to provide our clients with the best that world has to offer, the unusual and the unique with one attribute in common - they all have to be the best - nothing less will do.
