Roughly 90% of the artwork in our collection comes from Paris and other major cities throughout Europe. The art is acquired from both dealers to the trade, and institutions.

Every piece comes with a certificate of authenticity from our organization guaranteeing the authorship, date, and medium of the work(s) for the lifetime of ownership. They also come with an appraisal.

A unique aspect of our collection, is our rigid ‘condition’ standards. Each piece is hand-selected, and acquired ‘unframed’ to evaluate the condition of the paper. We reject pieces needing restoration Pre-WWI. Old Master artwork is permitted to have slight imperfections and minor levels of restoration due to their age.
High condition standards ensure each piece retains its value as it ages. We check the PH balance of the paper, and look for any elements that could potentially harm the paper over time. All artwork is scrutinized for watermarks, provenance for Pre-WWI artwork, references and sizing and any other features necessary to fully authenticate the work.

Each work is securely packed by a professional art packer and then shipped via FedEx to the requested address. Due to the value of the work, a direct signature is required verifying receipt.

They generally range in price from $1,000–$1 million. Prints by well-known artists such as Matisse, Miro, Chagall, and Picasso increase 9–15% annually. Most of them were created as illustrations for major folio publications or artist books from 1880–1985. They were made as collectable items in limited editions.

The advantages to a track based hanging system is that it offers easy installation, de-installation and rotation of artwork. It provides easy installation on tough surfaces such as granite, rock, stone, and/or brick. The system prevents holes, cracking and worn out drywall. Are certified installation crew will fully install an aluminum or wood picture hanging system into your commercial or residential location. Once installed this modern picture hanging system provides a clean, no hassle approach to displaying your art collection on your walls. Our system uses a horizontal aluminum track that attaches along the wall less than an inch from the ceiling. Either clear acrylic or fiberglass rods hang vertically to the track, allowing the artwork to hang from the hooks, which are attached to the rods. The hooks that are installed onto the rods have the option for security clips when needed.  All installations require a minimum of  two installers. We charge based on a formula using length and the time it takes to install. The formula is :30 min per linear ft x 2 installers. Additional transportation rates apply. See more transportation details.

For example an installation requiring 40 ft of track will need

                    30min x 40ft = 1200 min is 20 labor hours

Which is 2.5 days based on an 8 hour day. With 2 installers for 2.5 days, this includes time for painting the track and rods to your custom wall color. Installers are $135 for the first hour,  $95 per installer per hour thereafter.. The total  for this installation is $3745 (this does not include the transportation rates.) Installation includes hanging all the art work. Please note we don’t surcharge if the total footage is split between several walls in a property.
