eng THE AUCTION HOUSE DEPARTMENTS TO SELL BUY THE AUCTIONS My Pandolfini PANDOLFINI LIVE History Pandolfini was founded in 1924 by Cavalier Luigi Pandolfini with sales of furniture, furnishings and art objects. In the second half of the 1940s, Pandolfini began with increasing frequency to organize auction sales of furniture, furnishings, antique and nineteenth-century paintings belonging to large hotels, residences and villas of the Florentine nobility, to large private collections that they clearly belong to the heritage of the Tuscan territory. At the beginning of the 1950s, with the increase in the quality of the objects offered and with the intensification of the auction sessions, it became necessary to find a venue where to present art and antiques auctions. These were the years in which Pandolfini moved his business to Borgo degli Albizi 26, on the noble floor of the important Ramirez Montalvo building and began to offer the public catalogs drawn up according to the needs of a more demanding market. However, we must wait until the nineties to realize a more decisive structural change both as regards the staff and the vision and the sales objective that tries to aim at a more national and international market making the intermediation activity more competitive with the will to quickly reach a corporate management organized according to the most advanced criteria. The results obtained were immediately evident and in the space of a decade Pandolfini today represents one of the first realities in the Italian panorama for volume of intermediation and international recognition in all fields of collecting. This is also thanks to a specialized staff at the service of the most demanding customers who try to interpret their needs by turning them to profit. Since the beginning of Pandolfini's activity, he has been dealing with an antique heritage, such as that found in the Tuscan territory, of great quality and historical and artistic value. Sales have been held since 1968 that offer the public the assets of important families of the aristocracy and the Tuscan, Italian and international high bourgeoisie. The prestigious house-sale and single owner auctions that have taken place over the years have always confirmed and exceeded sales expectations, thus representing an important sector that has developed over the years.
