MISSION AND VALUES

TO VALUE THE MOVABLE CULTURAL HERITAGE THROUGH THE APPROACH OF THE ART MARKET TO THE ACADEMIA
A reference company in the art market in Portugal. in the Portuguese art market. 

Committed from the beginning to invest in the professionalization, credibility and accountability of the Portuguese Art Market, we have always believed that it is possible and desirable to aim for a successful and profitable cultural business and at the same time operate the same with the necessary exemption, cultural requirement, rigor and seriousness. 

On the contrary, the dynamism of exempt and culturally demanding commercial companies in the art market, such as CABRAL MONCADA LEILÕES has sought to decisively contribute, in close proximity and through partnerships and protocols with universities, academies, museums and other institutions and cultural agents, not only to blur the gap traditionally existing between both the commercial and business world and the cultural and academic world, but also for the valorization, dissemination and preservation of the Movable Cultural Heritage, not only in the segment of the so-called Antiques and Collector's items, but also, and increasingly, in the area dedicated to the works of Modern and Contemporary Art. 

At CABRAL MONCADA LEILÕES we first and foremost value the following: 

SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY - reflected in the exemption, effectiveness and commitment of all employees, at all times;
COMPETENCE - reflected in the concern for technical knowledge, demand and rigor, in all aspects; INTEGRITY - whether in strict compliance with the legislation in force and the best and most demanding national and international art market practices, or in the attitude assumed internally and externally: transparency, accuracy and loyalty; 
CONFIDENTIALITY - all activities carried out by CABRAL MONCADA LEILÕES, in pursuit of its corporate purpose of holding auctions and art evaluations, are subject to the duty of strict confidentiality; CABRAL MONCADA LEILÕES ensures, in all circumstances, complete secrecy regarding the identity of its interlocutors, including this secrecy, in the case of evaluations, the items presented to it and their whereabouts and all information and documentation provided to it to the effect, assuming full responsibility for this confidentiality; vd. Cabral Moncada Leilões Privacy Policy

We believe that an auction of works of art, as we understand it and practice it - should be held in public, in an environment of free competition, with extensive national and international promotion and disclosure, subject to clear and legal Conditions, bearing rigorous descriptions of the items on sale and their starting prices, formalized by a sale contract, duly signed by the respective parties - it is the safest, most efficient and most transparent way of selling and valuing a work of art. 

By not acquiring or being able to purchase items for itself, neither selling nor being able to sell its own items, neither at auction or privately, neither directly nor indirectly, CABRAL MONCADA LEILÕES, which legally represents and acts on behalf of third parties, as established through a binding contract, believe that this is the only way - today, fortunately legally enshrined - to terminate the chronical conflict of interests that has always undermined, to a greater or lesser extent, the credibility of most intermediary agents and to ensure a greater degree of exemption to the cultural economic system and greater credibility in the formulation of sale prices in the art market. 

We expressly state in our Business Conditions our full responsibility for the accuracy and rigor of the descriptions of the lots in our catalogues, therefore using a wide range and duly identified body of prestigious experts, totally independent and autonomous, in the various areas in which our activity is developed; 

Strictly observing the current legislation and the best and most demanding national and international art market practices, at all times and at all levels, namely in the preparation of our catalogues, auctions, regardless of its nature, live or online, in the public disclosure of its results, in the rigor and accuracy of the data and information provided to the public and the art market. 

CABRAL MONCADA LEILÕES provides, first and foremost, to Sellers and Buyers, their Customers, and through them to the art market, understood as a whole, an increased degree of confidence, which has allowed us to continuously grow, attract, expand and retain a growing number of Customers, making us a national reference in the Portuguese Art Market. 

GOALS 

Ensure, at all times, an attitude consistent with the fundamental concerns that guide us and live up to - in Conditions of content and image - the status of a national reference in the Portuguese Art Market, already recognized by itself. 

The provision of an impeccable and personalized service to all our Customers - before, during and after each auction and each evaluation and in all circumstances, inside or outside our facilities - a concern that demanded the creation of a department for this sole purpose - Customer Care - to coordinate, systematize and optimize the entire relationship with our Customers.
