Experience & a personal eye

Antique buying with an eye for quality, provenance and the market.

My name is Manfred Neumaier. I have been dealing with antiques and selected collectibles for many years. Porcelain and ceramics remain a particular specialty, but my buying interests extend well beyond them.

A realistic valuation considers quality, maker, artist, execution, rarity, condition, provenance and current market demand together.

Silverware, historic glass, Art Nouveau and Art Deco objects and selected metalwork.

Established collections, estates and mixed holdings with interesting individual objects.
