40 Years of Curated, Authenticated Design & Antiques

At the age of 30, I moved from my profession as a gilder and restorer to become a gallerist, opening my gallery "die Zeit" in Bern in 1986.

From the 2000s onwards, I also worked as an expert and consultant for various auction houses, including the renowned Stuker auction house.

Today I focus mainly on rare objects of 20th-century applied art, with a particular emphasis on Murano glass.

The pieces I offer will show you which themes and styles are among my particular passions.

Whether you are creating a carefully curated home, building a collection, or need an expert appraisal for an estate — I am glad to put my experience and knowledge to work to support you as best I can.
