Art Advisory | Laurent Granier

Fewer objects. More attention. Better decisions.

Granier⎮Ancient offers discreet advisory support for collectors seeking sharper judgment, disciplined pricing, and greater coherence in their collections.
As more collectors buy directly at auction, online, or from photographs alone, mistakes have become increasingly common. Not to mention the numerous fake, late or uninteresting pieces in circulation.
We offer in particular written acquisition assessments to collectors looking for confident acquisitions and the development of thoughtful, legal and valuable collections.

Written acquisition assessment: €350/piece

Full study with judgment on quality, pricing, and relevance within a collection

What it covers:

formal and qualitative analysis
condition and surface reading, where possible from images
authenticity
price or estimate assessment
risks and reservations
relevance within collection
acquisition discipline
clear final recommendation

What it does not cover:

active sourcing
buying on behalf of the client
representation in bidding
commercial intermediation
formal certificate of authenticity

How It Works

Opinions are based on the photographs and information provided by the client, unless physical inspection is separately agreed. Incomplete documentation may limit the precision of the opinion.

Payment is made in advance each month by bank transfer. Stripe or PayPal may be used on request.
