Illuminart Advisory and Appraisal LLC offers specialist appraisal, market advisory, and collection management services grounded in connoisseurship, institutional experience, and close engagement with the tradition itself.
We are dedicated to Chinese painting and calligraphy, working with collectors, families, institutions, and estates across the life of a collection: establishing value, shaping acquisition and deaccession strategies, guiding research and documentation, and supporting long-term stewardship. Our approach combines rigorous scholarship, professional appraisal standards, and first-hand experience in both the private market and the auction world.
