Welcome To Our World

Our passion for the past - for the exotic, for the evocative, for the sublime and the unique - is what drives us and what we do.  It is what has built this collection, and what continues to inspire us day in and day out. 

We are truly blessed to be able to share this passion with you.  In whatever way that has been, maybe through an acquisition from our gallery, or maybe just a brief conversation. Your appreciation for our gallery, for the arts, for history, and for ancient culture is important to us. Thank you for exploring our world.

“Our aim will always be to select objects of outstanding beauty whose rare quality is the equal of works shown in other museums of art throughout the world, and to exhibit them so that everyone may enjoy them in the fullest measure.” - Nelson Rockefeller

The objects with which we surround ourselves articulate our lives, our interests, our desires, often our hopes and our fears. An artist’s studio offers a tantalizing glimpse into a private ritualized space, often filled with the detritus of a working life but also with personal totems of inspiration. “I have worked all my life before the same objects,” wrote French artist Henri Matisse in 1951. “The object is an actor. A good actor can have a part in ten different plays; an object can play a role in ten different pictures.”
