Private Sales Services

Discreet. Efficient. Tailored.

At Poncelin de Raucourt Fine Arts, we offer a confidential and personalised service to help you sell Old Master drawings and paintings under the best possible conditions — without the constraints of public auctions or traditional gallery systems.

Why Choose Private Sales?

  • Keep Your Artwork Fresh to the Market
    Your piece is not publicly circulated or overexposed. This exclusivity preserves its desirability and enhances its potential value when presented to the right buyer.

  • Lower Fees, Higher Returns
    Unlike auction houses — which charge substantial commissions to both buyer and seller — or galleries with significant overhead, our commission structure is transparent and consistently lower, allowing you to retain more from the final sale.

  • A Targeted, Trusted Network
    We present your artwork directly to qualified collectors, curators, and institutions — avoiding open listings and speculative exposure.

  • Recognised Expertise
    As TEFAF Maastricht exhibitors with a strong track record of important rediscoveries and scholarly collaborations, we bring experience and credibility to every transaction.


How It Works

  1. Initial Consultation
    We begin with a confidential conversation to understand your needs and evaluate the work.

  2. Assessment & Strategy
    We provide a considered valuation and recommend the most effective private sale strategy.

  3. Discreet Promotion
    Your artwork is presented to a select group of potential buyers through private channels only.

  4. Negotiation & Transaction
    We manage all aspects of the negotiation and sale to ensure a smooth, secure and satisfactory outcome.
