A look inside the Princely Collections
For more than four hundred years, the Princes of Liechtenstein
have been passionate art collectors. The Princely Collections
include key works of European art stretching over five centuries
and are now among the world’s major private art collections.
The notion of promoting fine arts for the general good enjoyed
greatest popularity during the Baroque period. The House of
Liechtenstein has pursued this ideal consistently down the
generations. We make deliberate use of the works of art in
the Princely Collections as imagery to accompany what we do.
For us, they embody precisely those values that form the basis
for a successful partnership with our clients: a long-term focus,
skill and reliability.
