Our Core Values

More than 50 years ago, our founder, Art Arbutine, began offering rare coins at select shows and markets, while Pat Arbutine, Art's wife, cultivated a discerning eye for estate silver. From these humble beginnings, a legacy was born—rooted in a commitment to honesty, integrity and reliability.

Today, we continue to serve our clients with the same principles that guided us from the start. We curate heritage-quality pieces designed to elevate refined interiors and discerning lifestyles, always with a deep respect for craftsmanship, history, and trust.
