ONE HUNDRED YEARS

MARCHANT

For one hundred years, Marchant has been privileged to serve as a custodian of Asian art and antiques, a leading name in imperial Ming and Qing porcelain, jade and Chinese works of art.

The last seventy years with their building on Kensington Church Street was far more than a gallery; it served as an enduring sanctuary where the history of the East has been shared with generations of devoted collectors. Marchant carry the memories of these spaces with profound gratitude, and it is with a mixture of poignant reflection and optimistic anticipation that they prepare for their migration to Mayfair.

To commemorate the occasion, Marchant are honoured to present a unique “without reserve” auction - a heartfelt expression of appreciation to the collecting community. By removing reserves, they can invite both established connoisseurs and those embarking on their first acquisition to participate in their legacy, ensuring these exceptional pieces find homes where they will be equally cherished.

The relocation to 26 Brook Street is a significant milestone. This move is, as Richard Marchant, Life President, notes, “not merely a change of address; it is a bold declaration of our enduring commitment to excellence and a promise to present the finest Chinese art in a location that is both historically significant and at the forefront of contemporary culture.”

Housed in a meticulously restored 18th-century Georgian townhouse, the new premises offer an expansive vision for the future. The space features dedicated areas for curated collections, special exhibitions, and private rooms for scholarly discourse and connoisseurship. “We are incredibly excited,” says CEO Stuart Marchant. “This prestigious location will allow us to showcase our collections to an even wider audience.”

As Marchant bridges the richness of their fourth-generation history, with the promise of this new chapter, they bid farewell to Kensington and move to their new elegant setting in the heart of London’s art district.

百年来，Marchant始终致力于守护与传播亚洲艺术与古董，在明清御窑瓷器、玉器及中国艺术领域享有卓著声誉。

过去七十年间，位于肯辛顿教堂街的空间不仅是一间艺廊，更是一处凝聚东方艺术与历史的所在。在这里，一代又一代藏家相聚、交流，共同见证艺术的流传与延续。对于这段时光，Marchant怀抱由衷的感激；而今迁址梅费尔之际，既有不舍回望，也充满对未来的期待。

为纪念这一重要时刻，Marchant特别呈献一场无底价专场拍卖，以此答谢长期支持的收藏群体。取消保留价，使更多藏家—无论经验深浅, 皆可参与其中，也让这些珍贵之器得以进入新的收藏之中，继续被珍视与传承。

迁至布鲁克街26号，标志着Marchant发展历程中的重要一步。正如终身荣誉主席Richard Marchant 所言：“这不仅是地址的改变，更体现了我们对卓越品质的持续追求，并致力于在兼具历史底蕴与当代活力的环境中，呈现最优秀的中国艺术。”

新址设于一座经精心修复的十八世纪乔治亚风格建筑内，空间更为开阔，布局亦更为完善。馆内设有专题陈列区域、特别展览空间，以及供学术交流与鉴赏的私密空间。首席执行官Stuart Marchant表示：“我们对此深感振奋，这一卓越位置将使我们的收藏面向更广泛的观众。”

在承继四代积淀的同时，Marchant也由此开启全新篇章—告别肯辛顿，迈入伦敦艺术核心地带的崭新空间。
