How The Vault Works

The Vault is not a traditional online shop. It is a private, rotating collection of hand-selected pieces available for acquisition. Each item is offered individually, with inquiries handled confidentially and purchases completed securely via invoice—no public checkout—to preserve discretion and provenance integrity. Transactions are fully documented to support provenance and buyer confidence, and shipping is insured, tracked, and handled with professional care. At this time, shipping is available within the U.S.

To request details or reserve a piece, please contact me directly at RobinRankow@gmail.com.

Private Inventory

Select items are occasionally made available for private acquisition. If you're looking for something specific or would like to inquire about privately available pieces, please feel free to contact me.

✨ For Appraisal & Collector Insights, visit From the Appraiser’s Desk through the navigation in the upper-right corner of the website, where you can also sign up to receive new posts by email.

Ethical Note

Items offered through The Vault may be from my personal collection or, on occasion, offered privately on behalf of an owner. Property offered for sale is kept separate from my appraisal practice. I do not appraise property for a client and subsequently offer that same property for sale on the client's behalf where doing so would create a conflict of interest.
