2 A look inside the Princely Collections For more than four hundred years, the Princes of Liechtenstein have been passionate art collectors. The Princely Collections include key works of European art stretching over five centuries and are now among the world s major private art collections. The notion of promoting fine arts for the general good enjoyed greatest popularity during the Baroque period. The House of Liechtenstein has pursued this ideal consistently down the generations. We make deliberate use of the works of art in the Princely Collections as imagery to accompany what we do. For us, they embody precisely those values that form the basis for a successful partnership with our clients: a long-term focus, skill and reliability.
