  • ADRIAN SASSOON
    DIRECTOR

    Adrian Sassoon has been studying, collecting, curating and selling works of art for 40 years. In the last 30 years he has become the leading UK dealer in contemporary works of art – ceramics, glass, silver, gold, lacquer and hardstone objects. His other professional field is French 18th century works of art: primarily in the French royal porcelain factory of Vincennes and Sèvres.

    In 1980 Adrian moved aged 19 from London to work at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu for five years. He later worked for a leading antiques dealer in London and in 1992, after five years, started working as an independent art dealer.

    Adrian has a deep interest in other fields including old master and later paintings, European decorative arts of the 17th and 18th centuries, Asian works of art and 20th century photography. He has worked as the art advisor to various collectors, museums and for superyacht designers and owners.

    His writings include many Getty Museum publications in particular the ‘Catalogue of Vincennes and Sèvres Porcelain’ 1992 and the book ‘Jewels by JAR’ to accompany the JAR exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2013. He has worked on various scholarly articles and lectured extensively.

    Adrian is a trustee of The Attingham Trust, which runs courses for museum curators studying historic houses and the Royal Collection, and a member of the International Council of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

    Adrian has served two terms as a trustee of the Wallace Collection, London 2008-15; served as trustee of The Silver Trust, London 2013-19, which provided a collection of contemporary British silver for the use of the Prime Minister at Number 10 Downing Street; and on the committees of the patrons groups at the Wallace Collection, Tate Britain and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

    Adrian would say that his interest in works of art can be best seen these days by following his Instagram postings.
