S.H.A.C

Saint-Honoré Art Consulting is an art advisory and expertise firm led since 1999 by Etienne Bréton, former Director of the Old Master Paintings Department at Sotheby’s France.

For more than twenty years, S.H.A.C. has advised major collectors as they build and develop their collections. Our close contacts in the art world allow us to offer our clients works of the highest quality suited to their taste. We also accompany them through everything that keeps a collection alive — acquisitions, conservation, shipping and loans to museums — while guaranteeing their anonymity.

Beyond its work with private collectors, S.H.A.C. also helps enrich the collections of the world’s leading museums, among them the Musée du Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles) and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, among many others.

To best meet its clients’ expectations, S.H.A.C. regularly works with specialists in other fields and periods. Our associates include, in Paris, Nicolas Schwed, expert and dealer in Old Master and 19th-century drawings; in Geneva, Marc Blondeau, specialist in 19th- and 20th-century paintings and contemporary art, and Philippe Davet, specialist in 20th- and 21st-century art; and in Brussels, Renaud Jouslin de Noray, our consultant for Old Master sculpture and paintings.
