About Philip Collier 

Philip’s interest and passion for the art world began when he was just 8 years old. His Father’s career as an antique dealer and jeweller meant that many a day was spent following him around auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's, and being immersed in artwork at various showrooms and galleries. At one pivotal point, he was encouraged to select and purchase a piece of porcelain at auction, which was then sold at his family's Fordingbridge showroom, the proceeds of which were reinvested into his next auction purchase. This fuelled his affection for the fine art business, and was just the first step on the road to driving his own career in the fine arts sector.

Philip is dyslexic and, having become disenthralled with academic life, left school at the age of 17. Far from holding him back, his neurodiversity has propelled him towards an acutely visual appreciation of the world around him, and has meant that he excels in the creative arena. His keen eye for ‘beautiful things’ led him to set up his own art and interiors company after leaving school, and only 4 years later he began working with acclaimed artist Tabitha Salmon, representing her and selling her original paintings. This experience sparked a decisive move into art publishing. 

32 years on, the very fabric of Philip’s business has been interwoven with his childhood experiences of the art world, his strong visual capabilities, and years of professional knowledge. A desire to surround himself and others with pieces which elicit joy, means that he loves visiting people’s homes to offer a variety of bespoke advisory services
