Private Sales

Discreet, direct sales of important works outside the auction calendar.

Not every work is best served by the auction room. For clients who prefer discretion, a fixed price or a particular timescale, Kew Auctions arranges private sales between buyers and sellers drawn from our international network of collectors, dealers and institutions.

How it works

Our specialists will assess the work, agree an asking price with you and present it confidentially to selected buyers. There is no public catalogue and no hammer; the transaction is completed privately, with Kew Auctions acting as agent throughout.

Buying privately

If you are looking for a particular artist, period or object, tell us. We maintain a register of client wants and will approach you when a suitable work becomes available.
