About us

Founded in 2022, Marcopolo Asian Art was established to become a leading reference point in Italy for the consultancy, valuation, and brokerage of Asian art and antiques. In just a few years, thanks to the trust of collectors and sellers and the strong results achieved, we have grown into a recognized auction house specializing in Asian art, known for the expertise of our specialists, the transparency of our procedures, and a solid international network involving museums, cultural institutions, investors, and private collectors.

Today, we look to the future with a broader vision: while maintaining our primary focus on Asian art, we are expanding into new departments and artistic areas to meet the needs of an increasingly dynamic and global market. With our main headquarters and an active presence in Rome, we provide tailored and reliable services to both Italian and international clients.

Our Services

Marcopolo Asian Art offers end-to-end assistance in the valuation, sale, and acquisition of artworks, ensuring a bespoke approach for each client:

• Specialist consultancy: identification, research, and accurate appraisal of artworks, supported by historical study and market analysis.
  

• Sales mediation: international auctions and private sales carefully managed to maximize visibility and achieve the best results.
  

• Buying services: sourcing rare pieces, bidding on behalf of clients, and providing full assistance to collectors and investors.
  

Areas of Expertise

Our departments cover Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Islamic, Himalayan, Gandharan, and Southeast Asian art, as well as selected furniture and decorative arts. This broad expertise allows us to assist both those who wish to sell Asian art at auction and those looking to expand or start their collections.

Our Mission

The mission of Marcopolo Asian Art is clear: to guide our clients through the fascinating and complex world of art with integrity, discretion, and professionalism, offering tailored solutions for the appraisal, sale, and circulation of Asian artworks. Every object tells a story, and our role is to bring that story to light—bridging the richness of Asian artistic traditions with the needs of contemporary collecting.
