Bloomsbury Auctions and Dreweatts Forge
Alliance with Germany’s Hermann Historica
The brilliant new affiliation between
Bloomsbury Auctions, Dreweatts and Hermann Historica offers HH a
permanent
presence in Bloomsbury Auctions’ Mayfair premises in Maddox Street, as well as
representative offices in both New York and Rome,
Dreweatts will establish a branch in HH
Munich headquarters with the intention of developing a strong foothold in the
German-speaking European market.
This exciting news coincides with Hermann
Historica’s appointment of Nick McCullough as an international
consultant. Nick,
with 32 years experience in the trade, was former head of Christie’s
international Arms & Armour department.
Wolfgang Hermann, founding shareholder and
partner in Hermann Historica, spoke of the alliance as only a positive move
forward. ‘Like Bloomsbury, we deal with clients at the very pinnacle of our
area of specialisation; the quality and location of their London, New York and
Rome premises generously expands our options for future sale locations.’
Stephan Ludwig, Dreweatts’ Executive
Chairman, added to this, ‘Hermann Historica is a highly regarded specialist
auction house. I look forward to exploring the many potential business
opportunities that a strong presence in southern Germany offers both Dreweatts
and Bloomsbury Auctions.’
May this alliance prove to be more than just a
marriage of convenience. Good luck!
