"The interplay between luxury art and property sales has always existed, but it's only now, starting with Cornwall Terrace, that we are formally doing launches and activities that bring together the two."

"Even at this top end of the property market, sales need to be 'worked'. It is no longer enough to do a basic stand-alone launch with a residential product. You need to do something unique, stylish and very special to differentiate your brand."

"The marriage of the classic Regency properties and contemporary art works really well."

"It is no longer enough to do a stand-alone launch, even at the top end of the market"

"The atmosphere is buzzy, the gallerists are friendly and no piece costs more than £3,000."

"I used to buy randomly, but now I am more focused and collect works on paper — Old Master drawings or Impressionist works, often from sale rooms."

"If you see a work in a gallery that you like closer to home, go back and ask to see more by the same artist. You can then build a relationship with that gallerist and use them as a regular source for pieces that suit your taste and price capacity."

"For a series of prints that you have seen before, online could be an option. But don't buy an original painting from a website because so much of it is about texture, feel and perspective."

"so that you don't buy something purely because it fits with your self-imposed criteria. The vital thing is to buy something that you love, because you will be looking at it every single day."
