Handling Sessions

Each year the Society offers a number of very popular handling sessions, where members are able to hold and examine objects from private collections, auction houses and museums. These sessions are intended for connoisseurs and novices alike and offer our members a rare opportunity to handle and discuss important objects up close while trading knowledge with experts.

These sessions are for members only. Numbers must be limited because of space restrictions and because of the need to provide a safe handling environment. Therefore, booking is essential. Please look out for notifications on our website and in our regular correspondence with members.

We are working on a way to make these sessions more available to wider number of members through the use of technology.

Upcoming Handling Sessions

More sessions are being planned. Please come back later for updates.
