Private Collections

Private collections can be found in homes, businesses, schools, and more. Your treasures may not (currently) live in a museum, but they are no less dear! I offer consulting and management services for private collectors of various types, including fine art, decorative arts, historic objects, and other beloved pieces.

And while you might not consider yourself a private collector, I challenge you to look around your home or business— what is adorning your walls? What objects around you make your spirit sing? What do you hope to pass down to future generations? Do you have a plan for their ongoing care? Do you have the proper documentation easily accessible to help you in the event of an emergency?

• Collections documentation and cataloging

• Condition reporting

• Storage assessment and solutions

• Preventive conservation planning

• Emergency preparedness planning

• Vendor (conservation, etc.) recommendations

• Museum Loan facilitation and courier services

Pricing for listed services will vary depending on scope of services. To begin a project, an initial project consultation must be booked (free of charge). General private collection consultations begin at $50 per hour.
