Martin Beisly launched his art dealership in 2015 after over thirty years experience in the auction world. As International Director of Victorian & 19th Century Pictures at Christie’s, he established an impressive reputation for expertise, a keen understanding of the art market and a wealth of contacts with international collectors and curators. Under his leadership the Victorian department became the market leader in the field. Martin was instrumental in restoring Farringford, Tennyson’s home on the Isle of Wight and was a trustee of Juliet Margaret Cameron’s house Dimbola. He is a trustee and also a member of Collections Committee of the Watts Gallery, Compton. Martin’s gallery in St James’s specialises in Victorian and Pre-Raphaelite painting and sculpture and holds a representative stock of Victorian art both owned outright and sold on behalf of collectors throughout the world.
