The Gallery in the arcade might have been small, but it was packed with an ever-changing stock of Russian art from the Byzantine era right up to the end of the 20th century, through the years of Imperialism and latterly Communism. They sold Faberg, Icons, silver and enamel. They also sold woodwork and lacquer boxes, crosses and sculptures.
16th Century Icons: Russian Icons of the 16th century and earlier are getting harder to find with prices in the auctions rising at every sale. 17th and 18th Centuries Icons: Russian Icons from the 17th and 18th Centuries are still enormously undervalued and because of this, they make a worthwhile investment.
