Buffy Parker

Director

Buffy has worked in Fine Art since starting out as a porter at Bonhams in 1973. Having led his own Art Dealership in Hampshire for thirty years, buying and selling between 2000 and 3000 paintings a year, Buffy’s particular area of expertise is in Old Master Paintings. He has discovered paintings by Frans Hals, Annibale Carracci, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo amongst others, but his most notable achievement was spotting a Sebastiano del Piombo, which eventually sold to the Getty Museum in California.

Buffy returned to the Auction world as the Head of Pictures at a Surrey auction house before establishing Parker Fine Art Auctions in 2020.
