Palau Antiguitats
Booth N°8
Palau Antiguitats opened its doors 40 years ago, in 1986, when Lola Palau transitioned from collector to antique dealer. Located on a pedestrian street in Barcelona, the gallery specialises in buying and selling antiques. For nearly two decades, her son, art historian Albert Martí Palau, has taken over and continues her passion for antiques, ancient works of art and, in particular, works on paper – antique engravings and drawings.
In 2007, we inaugurated our Cabinet des Arts Graphiques, a place where engraving and drawing occupy a prominent place. With an educational focus, it is a space where visitors can compare techniques, states and prints, differentiate and touch different papers and media, and appreciate the nuances of a good print. Every year, we organise various exhibitions on a range of themes, during which enthusiasts can acquire works by great masters and lesser-known but no less interesting artists.
