Our story
Raphaels was founded to give Melbourne a trusted, local place to buy, sell and consign luxury — with authentication standards buyers, sellers and dealers can rely on.
Our studio
Appointments are held in our Collins Street studio, where pieces are viewed, valued and authenticated away from a shopfront queue. Consignors and buyers are seen one at a time, by appointment.
Authentication
Nothing is listed — whether ours or consigned — until it clears the same process.
01
Stitching, hardware, materials and construction checked against brand-specific references.
02
Serial numbers, date codes and movement details cross-checked where applicable.
03
Each piece is graded and photographed honestly, so buyers know exactly what they're getting.
04
A certificate of authentication accompanies every sale, held on file for future resale.
