The Archive
Recently passed through the cabinet
An ongoing record of works that have entered private and institutional collections — paintings, sculpture and objets de vertu of the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque, each catalogued with reference to its provenance and historical context. New acquisitions are introduced periodically; please write for the current cabinet or to register a standing interest.
Services · Consignment
We also place work for others.
TenCate Art offers a specialised intermediary and consignment service for collectors, heirs and private sellers. We assess each work, research its background and place it with the auction house or platform where it achieves the strongest visibility and price.
The difference between €200 and €2,000 is often the result of a correct attribution, an expert description and presenting the work to the right audience.
