Beyond finding it
Knowing where to look.
Knowing who to ask.
Finding something is one thing. Getting it into your hands can be quite another.
WANT brings together intelligent research and human judgement to explore the right sources, specialists and arrangements. From the first enquiry to the final delivery, the details matter.
01
Tell us what you have in mind.
An object, a photograph, an ambition. Start with what matters to you.
02
We establish a way forward.
We assess the request, investigate credible sources and agree a clear scope and fee before paid work begins.
03
You decide. We coordinate.
Review one considered proposal, with costs, assumptions and responsibilities made clear. Nothing is committed without your approval.
The nature of an engagement
When the purchase is significant,
so is the service.
Our work centres on high-value objects, specialist commissions and acquisitions that deserve dedicated attention. Often, the item itself represents a substantial investment. Our role is to help you make a considered decision and coordinate the agreed details with care.
WANT is a paid private sourcing and coordination service. Our fee is quoted separately from the purchase price and reflects the expertise, complexity and work involved. We agree the scope and fee with you before paid work begins.
The service is best suited to clients who place a premium on their time, confidence in the purchase and the quality of its execution.
A private office approach
One point of contact.
A considered recommendation.
The details taken care of.
Someone accountable.
For every accepted engagement, a named contact oversees the request. You know who to speak to and when you will hear next.
Judgement, not a shortlist.
A clear recommendation shaped around what matters to you, with the evidence, costs and outstanding questions explained.
Care through completion.
Delivery, installation, documentation and aftercare are addressed in your proposal. What is included—and who is responsible—is agreed from the outset.
Prefer to work through your assistant? Give them access to coordinate, while keeping approvals in your hands.
The things worth going further for
Not always hard to find.
Often hard to arrange.
Across borders
“That table in Milan. Delivered to our home overseas.”
From identifying the maker to understanding freight, customs and installation.
A more involved ambition
“A vintage boat. Restored, ready and where it needs to be.”
The right specialists and a realistic route through the details.
Illustrative requests. Every engagement is assessed individually; availability and completion are never assumed.
Clear from the outset
Our service.
Your purchase.
You pay WANT for the sourcing and coordination we agree. You contract with and pay the supplier directly. We do not hold purchase funds or commit you to buying.
Scope, fees and responsibilities are set out before paid work begins.
How our service and payments work ↗Your time is part of the equation.
