The house

01

Curation

Few objects, chosen slowly. An object is taken on because it is worth owning, not because it will sell.

02

Authenticity

Attribution, condition and restoration are described as they are. What is not known is stated as not known.

03

History

Ownership history is researched before an object is offered, and the records are supplied with it.
