We cater for both professional clients and personal shoppers. Our unique inventory can cope with the individual requirements of each group and there are many 'collecting' sub-sets within each niche category.
We treat people as individuals and strive to deliver an appropriate level of service for all age groups, collecting abilities and budgets. Since collecting is a personal experience, we do not publicise our client list - suffice to say that many top Irish hotels, restaurants, pubs and corporate HQ's are adorned with some of our finds.

COLLECTOR & INVESTMENT CUSTOMERS
Most collectors collect for fun, entertainment and the joy of research but there are some that look towards the future and try to get ahead of the curve in terms of price. This group are investors and, typically, diversify their savings away from the traditional financial services instruments.
For most, however, the future selling price is not important and it is this group that we do most business with. Collecting, researching and presenting can give many happy hours to those of us interested in history, geography, economics, politics, culture, heritage and education.
Collecting hobbies are recognised by the teaching profession as some of the most educational pastimes for both children and adults alike.
Medical professionals often point out that collecting hobbies are a great therapy for stress and illness. They are also very useful tools in the treatment of many disabilities and disabling illnesses in the elderly.
Certainly, few of us would disagree that getting out of the house and visiting your favourite craft gallery, museum and shop is therapeutic regardless of your age, general fitness and health.
