There is a bewildering array of choice for the private individual seeking advice on everything from a single antique or work of art to an entire house contents or collection.

Hockley Smith Fine Art Consulting is able to expertly assess a situation and to independently recommend a course of action. Sometimes this may involve a single organisation or dealer and at other times a blend of all the available avenues. We also have access to an unparalled network of international dealers and collectors with whom sales can be negotiated swiftly and discreetly.

If a local or international auction house is the best solution then Hockley Smith Fine Art Consulting can negotiate the very best deals with these organisations on sale or valuation fees; thus saving on costs from the outset.

Hockley Smith Fine Art Consulting can assist private individuals with:

• Buying and selling - via auction, private sale or direct to a dealer, gallery or collector
• Valuations - insurance, probate, family division
• Collections management - whether it is building, rationalising or selling a collection
• Restoration and conservation - expert advice and solutions on these traditionally difficult areas
