WWA — Private Art Services

Direct access to one of Europe’s largest art laboratories

WWA is part of the same company, not a broker. We run these pages and screen every inquiry before it is put in direct contact with the right specialist. We do not issue quotes or take commission.

A single, discreet point of contact for an important painting

WWA is part of the same company as one of Europe’s largest art laboratories. We created these pages to run advertising and screen requests before they reach the specialists. This gives serious owners one direct, confidential route for laboratory examination, restoration, storage, logistics and advisory — with no broker, no quote from us and no commission.

What we do

Each service can be commissioned on its own, or combined into one coordinated mandate.

A small number of serious mandates

We deliberately take on few works at a time. Every inquiry is read and assessed personally before anything is proposed, and we say so openly when a work is better placed elsewhere. WWA does not quote, take commission or act as a broker — serious inquiries are put in direct contact with the right specialist.
