« What holds value

What we do

Three worlds. One standard.

Ferdinand Hodler, Lake Geneva and the Alps, 1918
Fine Art

Works of art. Among collectors.

Confidential introductions, for buyers and sellers alike.

Discover private art sales

A single family often holds a residence, a collection and works of art. Across all three, Patina supports acquisitions and sales through a single point of contact, with the same discretion.

What is entrusted to Patina is not published.

Discretion
is not an option.
It is our foundation.

Patina works for families and their family offices, as well as for investors who expect the same rigour from an intermediary as from their advisers. Every mandate rests on trust and aligned interests. Every decision is measured in decades, not quarters.

  • Off-market Opportunities beyond public channels.
  • Terms set at the outset Scope and conditions are agreed before any work begins.
  • From Switzerland to Europe Rooted in the Lake Geneva region, with a network across Europe.

One conversation.

What lasts begins with a meeting.
