The “Inventorium” project came about following the surprising observation that most of us are unaware of the overall value of the furniture, items and jewellery that we come into contact with every day in our own home.

It all began in 2014 when two art market inventory specialists decided to set up their agency Genève Inventaire in Switzerland.

Frédéric Colliard and Herbert Hosotte are auctioneers who have specialised in the art market for over twenty years.

Together, they mediate for insurance companies, providing overall valuations following an insurance claim.

Mr Colliard and Mr Hosotte are also regularly called upon by family notaries or the tax authorities to draw up inventories in the event of disputes and for the inheritance process and estate distribution.

With the emergence of Family Offices which manage the private matters of wealthy families, Genève Inventaire is often appointed to provide an overview and appraisal of their clients’ art collections.

Through their in-the-field experience, they realised that the market was lacking in inventories and personal property valuation.

The inventory offers a solution to bring together all the information concerning your personal property and its value at a given time in one document.

It is reassuring to know the global value of your home's contents when faced with the unexpected events life brings.

You don’t always need the services of an art market expert, which is why we have created Inventorium to provide a service for private individuals, independent professionals and large companies looking for a bespoke inventory tool.

Inventorium means you can create your own inventory at home, with photos of your items and the corresponding value.
Inventorium is the easy, clear, fast and reasonably priced solution with a professional look.

If you nevertheless require the services of art market experts, our Genève Inventaire team will be pleased to provide you with a free no-obligation quote.

We look forward to working with you!
