I have been using David and Brigitte's art valuation services for about 5 years. David's knowledge is amazing and besides valuing my collection I have learnt so much about the art, the artists and the art world. A fabulous team that I'd recommend over and over again

David & Brigitte have been of enormous assistance to my wife Libby and I . Initially in valuing the art pieces we already had and then advising us and bidding for us at auction in acquiring additional pieces. They know their stuff and provide a great service in advising and assisting their clients.

We have worked with Banziger Hulme for many years now to value and document our art collection for insurance purposes. It is wonderful to have a comprehensive document with all details of each work in one place. Banziger Hulme are a pleasure to work with and it was a very enjoyable experience working with them to value the pieces in the collection.

When we first met Brigitte and David, they were able to dissect the art we owned and what they found was eye opening. It set us on the path to become art collectors, and we have never looked back. The valuations and pre purchase information they provide on a regular basis gives us confidence and has enabled us to build a museum quality Australian art collection. As art lovers, having Brigitte and David on our team is like a cheat, their insights are priceless.
