Galleria Antonio Esposito is located in Via Maggio, the heart of artistic Florence in the lively neighbourhood of the Oltrarno, close to Palazzo Pitti and Piazza di Santo Spirito. The elegant premises date to 1300: spread over more than 200 m2, the gallery has created an atmosphere that is attentive to detail, evocative and refined. Its marvellous vaulted ceilings and fascinating original architectural particulars constitute the ideal setting for the sale of furniture, paintings, sculpture, lamps and other antiques, in addition to vintage and design furnishings, textiles and contemporary artworks. Chiara Esposito represents the third generation of a family of antiques dealers; today she directs the gallery that her father brought to Florence in 1994. From her parents she inherited her great passion for art as well as her dedication, commitment and experience, which are the heart and soul of this extraordinary shop. In addition to overseeing the commercial aspects of the business, she attends to the study of the works present in her collection as well as to the constant search for rare period pieces of various provenances, as long as they are unique and of high quality. Eclecticism and international tastes are the hallmarks of the historic Galleria Antonio Esposito. Its varied inventory – which comes mostly from private dealers and collectors – allows the gallery to satisfy any request or need in the field of interior design. Customers are welcomed with a smile and offered dedicated, professional service, as the staff makes every effort to provide all possible information on the provenance and history of a work of art. The gallery sells to private collectors with a passion for art as well as to dealers and professionals in the field, both Italian and foreign. Each purchase is a unique and pleasant experience, based on personalised attention and a responsive approach, as negotiations both in the shop and online are always cordial and relaxed.
