A PLACE FOR IMPORTANT WORKS OF ART
Welcome to Ralph Gierhards Antique and Fine Art in Düsseldorf.
The gallery presents a soulfully and meticulously curated selection of important art objects and furniture from the 17th to the early 20th century. These exceptional pieces are chosen for their level of craftsmanship, quality, and enduring impact. Situated in the heart of the city, it offers a setting in which collectors, designers, and art enthusiasts can encounter the works and immerse themselves in their presence.
What sets the gallery apart is its particular focus on antique gold and enameled boxes (tabatières) of the 18th century, European paintings of the 19th century, Old Master works of the 18th century, and selected enamels by Camille Fauré. These are not simply categories within the collection, but areas of connoisseurship that define its distinctive profile, preserving and encouraging the deep connection between humans and items of beauty and importance.
Founded in 1977, the gallery is a 180 square meter space, filled with more than objects, but Ralph Gierhards’ eye, taste and year long devotion. The collection, formed gradually over time, is the culmination of this enduring commitment, expressed through fine French furniture, gilded bronzes and much more. As such, the service offered by the gallery reaches beyond the material, grounded in connoisseurship, sensitivity, and lasting confidence.
