Gallery Consulting · Paris & United States

Inventory deserves more than a listing.

We help galleries, antique dealers and design businesses present valuable inventory with authority—from photography and catalog copy to marketplaces and websites.

Words, images and strategy for the art and antiques trade

Make the value visible.

Online buyers cannot handle an object, examine its construction or hear the story behind it. The photographs and words must do that work.

Gallery Consulting combines decades of antiques experience with professional photography, art-historical research and the practical knowledge of preparing inventory for 1stDibs, Chairish and dealer websites.

Services

Built around how dealers actually work.

Marketplace listings

Titles, descriptions, attributes, condition language and search-minded copy for 1stDibs and Chairish.

Catalog management

New listings, rejected-listing corrections, inventory reviews and thoughtful relaunches for pieces that are sitting unsold.

Photography

Consistent, publication-ready photography for furniture, artworks, jewelry and objects—available in France and for substantial US projects.

Websites & content

Dealer website strategy, writing, image selection and WordPress creation, plus editorial and social content drawn from inventory.

From surface and scale to setting and story

The object comes first.

In context

Not every object belongs on white.

A controlled catalogue image gives clarity. An environmental photograph can provide scale, atmosphere and a sense of place. The right approach depends on the object and where the image must work.
