Antique Art Shop

What we mean by antique art 

The Beginning 

In the antiquarian world, when we talk about antique paintings and sculptures, we are referring to a period that does not correspond to the époques of art history.

It starts with works of the late Middle Ages and the paintings we call gold-ground or golden age.

The statues in this period were done in marble, polychrome wood, bronze, and terracotta.

The End 

In our industry, antique art generally ends with the 19th/20th century.

The turn of the 20th century marks the end of academicism and the advent of avant-garde movements.

Impressionism was the last great classical art movement, and when it made way for Cubism, the era of modern and contemporary art began.

When we started out: Selling Antique Art, then and now

Selling antiques has always been our passion and our profession.

We used to be generalist antique dealers, i.e. we bought antiques.

Our shop walls were full of antique paintings with portraits of famous people or battle scenes adorned with carved antique frames.

An expert tip for our customers: an antique chandelier goes perfectly in a modern or contemporary interior. Try it and see!

Years ago, we displayed pairs of sumptuous armchairs in gold-leaf gilded wood and tables embellished with gilded bronze.

It was the perfect inventory for an antique shop, the pride of any dealer.

About our antique art shop 

Over the years, Alessandro and I have refined our mission.

We have breathed new life into the antique shop. Selection is our guiding concept.

We have one steadfast rule: we only buy things that we like and to which we can answer “yes” to the question, “Would my favorite customer buy it?” 

Expert tip: An antique painting is an irreplaceable decor piece. It can really make a difference in your space.

It’s even better if you give the painting an antique frame, an invaluable decorative element. Not only does it embellish a work of art, but it can also be used with modern paintings.

Our motto: a perfect interior design flawlessly joins the antique and the modern.

There is nothing chicer than a drawing by Carlo Carrà or a painting by Antonio Donghi decked out in an antique Salvator Rosa frame (see photo below)
