About 9RARE
9Rare material is drawn from two substantial private collections assembled over the last 45 years.
The collections are anchored in the antiquarian (16th to 19th century) but also include modern and contemporary items. The inventory has been assembled with a discerning eye for condition and provenance with some exceptional association copies. Sometimes unique items of superlative quality are listed.
When one item from our group of 9 is sold, a new entry will take its place. Sometimes several related items are combined and offered in single lots.
