Merchant Alliance

Private Clients

Bespoke sourcing, cellar building and brokerage for discerning collectors across wine, spirits, timepieces, art and antiques.

An opulent glass display case in a minimalist luxury showroom, containing a single platinum watch with a deep blue dial, a vintage gold coin in a protective clear capsule, and a small framed abstract artwork. The case sits on a matte black plinth against a subtle stone-textured wall, with tiny, non-textual authenticity plaques beneath each item. Cool, focused gallery lighting above creates crisp reflections on the glass and precise shadows, while the rest of the room fades into soft darkness. Photographic realism, shot from a slightly elevated three-quarter angle, emphasizes clarity, provenance, and exclusivity, evoking a calm, secure environment suitable for discerning collectors on a high-end marketplace platform.
A dramatic close-up of a vintage art and coin pairing: a richly textured oil painting corner with dark greens and golds, and in the foreground a felt-lined tray holding a neat row of rare coins in clear capsules, each subtly numbered without readable text. The tray rests on a black leather appraisal mat, beside a magnifying loupe and a pair of white cotton gloves laid neatly aside. Overhead, cool, controlled studio lighting reveals every surface detail while preserving deep, luxurious shadows. Photographic realism, macro-style composition with shallow depth of field, emphasizes precision, authenticity verification, and the careful handling expected in a regulated, provenance-focused luxury marketplace.

Fees

Engage on a transparent retainer, success-based brokerage, or blended model aligned with your collection and transaction needs.

Advisory Access

Advisory retainers start from a fixed monthly fee calibrated to portfolio size and complexity, covering market insight, asset selection support, provenance review, and ongoing collection strategy. Transaction execution, legal checks, and logistics coordination are then billed separately on a preferential schedule for retainer clients.

Brokerage Plus

Brokerage services typically operate on a success-based commission, calculated as a percentage of the final transaction value and agreed in advance with both buyer and seller. This fee structure aligns incentives, with minimum commissions applying to rare or particularly complex acquisitions and disposals.
