Cultural capital,
quietly curated.
Private art acquisition and advisory for discerning collectors.
About Us
We believe that a collection is not merely an accumulation of objects, but a deliberate act of cultural stewardship—a form of intellectual capital that transcends the temporal vagaries of the market.
Founded by private cultural economists with two decades of experience navigating the world's most exclusive art markets, Wyndham & Mercer operates at the intersection of aesthetic scholarship and strategic intelligence. We provide a shield of discretion for our clients, securing works of historical importance through channels unavailable to the public marketplace. Our practice is rooted in the conviction that serious collecting requires institutional-grade research, curatorial vision, and the patience to identify masterworks before they are recognized as such.
We serve ultra-high-net-worth individuals, multi-generational family offices, and private foundations. Our client relationships are measured in decades, not transactions.

An invitation to quiet excellence.
We engage with a limited number of clients annually—no more than eight new mandates—to ensure that every collection receives the depth of attention it merits. Inquiries are reviewed privately and relationships are established by referral or through our network of institutional partners.
