Independent Acquisitions Specialist
Identifying rare, archival, and historically significant materials — and recognizing the latent value that others overlook.
About
I specialize in sourcing and presenting rare, archival, and historically significant collections — materials that carry cultural weight and genuine market value, often acquired through unconventional channels.
With a professional background in high-stakes investigation and documentation, I bring a rigorous, evidence-based methodology to every acquisition. I understand provenance, I understand context, and I understand what makes an item significant beyond its surface.
I work with auction houses, private collectors, and institutional buyers to ensure materials of consequence reach the right hands — evaluated honestly, represented accurately, and handled with appropriate care.
