Parker Fine Art Auctions launched in July 2020, co-founded by Directors Buffy Parker and Henny Smith.
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.
Director
Henny read History of Art at University and started her career at Sotheby’s in 1998 as an archivist in the British Pictures department.
Since then, she has worked in a variety of different roles at other auction houses before co-founding Parker Fine Art Auctions in 2020.
