Being a third generation family member involved in the art world is truly a rewarding privilege. Continuing the family tradition, a online galleri and consignment consultant business has now evolved.

Collectively we span over seven decades offering experience as curator, collectors and resellers of fine art and objet de vertu collections. Given this time span, we are fortunate to have built a network of global buyers, auction houses and design firms to call upon. We pride ourselves on our ability to collaborate across the industry.

My grandfather Roy was an accomplished artist with commissioned works having been sold throughout the US and Europe. As former director of the Martin Gallery in downtown Dallas back in the 70's, he catered to a host of well known clientèle such as Van Johnson, Greer Garson, Eartha Kitt, as well as prominent Dallasites. He was also director of The Circle Fine Art Gallery in Dallas, a subsidiary of the New York Gallery, which authorized limited release of Erté work. His career also encompassed a successful duration as account executive for The Dallas Chamber of Commerce.

My Dad Chris brings his own unique expertise of the art world. Having cataloged artwork and antiquities for numerous dealers, both domestically and abroad, has afforded him a keen eye for recognizing works of art and its full potential in resell. Incorporating his astute skills as an efficiency expert lends to the process of downsizing ones collection or handling an estate. He has an affinity for religious items, reflective in his own extensive collection, and an expansive knowledge base of such. Aside from his native language English, he's multilingual with a working proficiency in Italiano, Español and Portuguese languages.

With a degree in business management, having specialized in public relations and sales, I bring personalized attention to every detail and will assist you in transitioning your private collection or family heirloom to its new owner. I'm an eBay Affiliate Partner and was recently invited to participate in an eCommerce focus group study, conducted by eBay, where my ideas to advance sales were well received and implemented on various levels. My active participation in webinars allows me to offer up to date trending of the current market, therefore providing fresh insight as to how best market your collection.

Preservation and restoration if so required of artwork is of paramount concern to our galleri, therefore much of our private collection artwork is museum archival conservation framed and inspected for quality prior to resell. A condition report supplied by Avanti Galleri is available upon request on select galleri artwork.

Avanti Galleri's customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a higher percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. Ask about our referral program and finders fee incentive. Join the discussion, at Avanti Galleri we welcome your questions, feedback and referrals.

We are active patrons of the J. Paul Getty Research Institute which allows us access to the necessary historical research archives of an item or artist, along with the latest auction records from around the world along with GRI E-News updates on growing trends in our industry.

All financial transactions are conducted via our PayPal verified business account, which is our preferred method for sending and receiving payment. Certified funds and wire transfers are also accepted. State and local taxes apply.
