1840 Sherbrooke Street is the latest building to have been bought by Heffel
Fine Art Auction House. It is a grand late 19th century stone building which
has retained many of its original interior features including carved woodwork,
stained glass windows and decorative plasterwork.

Originally a substantial family home it now offers ample exhibition and office
space spread over 8000 square feet. The exhibition space for previews for the
live and on-line auctions is on the ground floor. Spread throughout the rest of
the building there are special rooms for appraisal, photography of works,
storage and shipping.
One of our major priorities is the secure storage of valuable works of art. All
artworks are stored in our large vault when not on exhibition. Moreover, the
entire premises are protected by a state-of-the-art monitored alarm system.
Our experts are available for free and confidential assessments of works. Once
accepted, all works are properly catalogued and prepared for exhibition. The
works are professionally photographed with high quality equipment in our
in-house digital photography lab.
Sherbrooke Street is often compared to New York City's Fifth Avenue. It forms
the south border of the area known as the Golden Square Mile, so called because
at one time it housed an astonishing seventy percent of the country's wealth.
Just opposite the building is the Grand Seminary which was established in 1676.
Today this city's prestigious stretch is home to a cluster of opulent and
charming apartments, restaurants, designer boutiques, antique stores and art
galleries. One can also find McGill University, the Montreal Museum of Fine
Arts and a number of reputed hotels including the fabled Ritz-Carlton
While this area has always offered art-lovers a venue for buying artworks the
addition of Galerie Heffel in Montreal is expected to add a convenient new
facility for consignors and buyers alike and will undoubtedly help the
promotion of historical and modern Quebec artists to collectors in the rest of
Canada
