THE LIMNER COMPANY was established in 2023 by leading portrait miniatures consultant Emma Rutherford. We are a group of specialists who work together researching and selling antique portrait miniatures.

We hope to bring portrait miniatures to a wider audience with our social media and e-newsletter, sharing the latest research and exhibitions, and a carefully curated selection of original works for sale.

We are based in London, UK, and we work with clients both nationwide and internationally.

Our expertise also includes conservation and framing. Find out about the services we offer here.
