OUR PHILOSOPHY
Three knocks. One authentic masterpiece.
Founded in Jakarta, Tigaketuk bridges four centuries of Indonesian and international art with uncompromising authentication and modern online auction technology.
In traditional auction halls, three knocks of the wooden gavel seal the transfer of a cultural treasure. At Tigaketuk, those three knocks signify our three-fold promise:
Connoisseurship
Rigorous provenance tracing and specialist appraisal before any artwork enters a catalogue.
Verification
Physical hologram security seals and tamper-evident digital certificates verified publicly.
Integrity
Staggered, extended closing auctions ensuring every bidder has a fair, transparent opportunity.
From historical 19th-century canvases by Raden Saleh and classical Majapahit terracottas to modern bronze sculptures by Nyoman Nuarta and iconic 20th-century photography, Tigaketuk provides an impeccably curated marketplace for the discerning collector.
