Our principles

Competence

Only those who know that they know nothing know their responsibility!

We examine our objects for genuineness and authenticity to the best of our knowledge and belief. We guarantee their originality and genuineness in accordance with the information in our descriptions. We always regard expert suggestions for improvement as positive input, not as criticism.

Quality

Dusty or forgotten? We value the trademark O.K.!

In online trading in particular, trust in the accuracy of the descriptions, individual service and absolute reliability are the “non plus ultra”. This principle applies to every one of our business relationships.

Discretion

Confidentiality – a victim caught between data protection and transparency?

We act fully in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Beyond that, we guarantee absolute confidentiality before, during and after our transactions.

Attention

The most precious asset of all is our time!

It is our challenge when you share this time of yours with us and give us the chance to learn about or discover your passions that can be explored through our portfolio. Well then!

Security

Easy come, but not easy go!

For all our objects we declare lawful acquisition and freedom from third-party rights. We provide information on the export regulations for an object in each of our descriptions.

Showrooms

Most of our objects are kept in various premises outside our office. Viewing of the objects is therefore only possible by prior arrangement and timely appointment.

We look forward to seeing you!
