CHRISTINA M. ANDERSON
Art & Antiques Specialist Research
Why a Research Service?
Christina Anderson offers a unique research service to dealers and collectors of fine art and antiques. Because research increasingly forms an essential component of the selling and collecting of antiques, she has developed an independent service with a special mix of scholarship and commercialism. It is intended to fill the needs of those looking to do everything from preparing a rare piece for sale to a museum to identifying unusual marks or stamps.
For dealers, research often makes the difference between an ordinary sale and a spectacular one. Research maximises the potential of an object while helping you to serve your client as well as possible, building a relationship with them for the future based on quality pieces and accurate information.
Collectors look to acquire unique items which have unusual stories attached to them or bear rare marks or stamps. Learning about these increases the pleasure you experience through your collection. Collectors may also wish to compile a catalogue of their collection, with a complete bibliography of references to their special items.
As a professional art and antiques researcher with specialist knowledge of the relevant sources, Christina Anderson can help to solve difficult problems of provenance and place your items within the appropriate historical context.
