Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
I’m researching a 19th-century bronze listed in a 1924 Paris catalog and a 1968 New York auction. Here are the entries; build the ownership timeline and flag gaps.
Our museum accession card says this Benin plaque arrived in 1912, but a donor letter says 1908. Compare these excerpts and list the unresolved questions.
I have invoices, an exhibition catalog, and two dealer letters for a Persian carpet acquired in 1976. Sort them by date and identify what each source establishes.
