What we do

We make the process of buying works of art simple and enjoyable.

Colbert & Company advises on the acquisition of works of art.  Using a wide and trusted network of contacts at galleries and auction houses, we undertake thorough research, attending key international art fairs and auctions.  We are able to provide our clients with informed, impartial and specialist advice.

Each client is unique and we spend time gaining a thorough understanding of their brief. Using our network and expertise we source the best available options and negotiate the best possible price on our client’s behalf.  Colbert & Company advises on starting a collection, as well as expanding and managing existing collections and can provide advice on a range of issues.

Following a successful purchase, Colbert & Company handle all logistics such as shipping, framing, hanging and conservation.

How we work

Colbert & Company is founded on two principles: confidentiality and transparency. We are professional and discrete and work solely on behalf of our clients taking a commission of 15% of the purchase price for transactions up to £100,000 and thereafter by negotiation.  A nominal deposit is required, deductible from the commission taken on completion of a purchase.
