BY INVITATION

ACQUISITION

Acquisition is private. Each artifact is released through a single, deliberate correspondence with the Maison.

THE ACQUISITION PROCESS

I

INQUIRY

A private letter of intent is received and reviewed in confidence.

II

QUALIFICATION

The Maison considers provenance, stewardship and intent before reply.

III

DIALOGUE

A direct correspondence is opened with the atelier or its counsel.

IV

INDUCTION

Acquisition is sealed and the artifact enters permanent private ownership.

PRINCIPLES OF THE MAISON

DISCRETION

Every correspondence remains private.

STEWARDSHIP

Artifacts are placed, not merely sold.

LEGACY

Each acquisition becomes part of the Maison record.

RESPONSE

Considered Reply

Each inquiry is read by the Maison. A reply is composed deliberately and may take time. Silence is not refusal — it is consideration.

NOTICE

Invitation Only

Acquisition and patron access remain at the sole discretion of the Maison. Membership of the Collector Circle is not for sale.
