About Me

I’m Chiara Esposito, I run the Galleria Esposito Antiquario, which specialises in 17th, 18th and 19th-century Italian and European antique furniture and fine art, in the same place my father opened his business in Florence in 1990.

A three-generations family business, the building housing the shop on Via Maggio 82r – the street dedicated to the antiques trade since ancient times – dates back to the 14th century. Its wonderful arched ceilings and charming original architectural details provide the perfect setting to display the magnificent pieces within.

Italian and French Baroque, Neoclassical and Empire period artworks are among my favourite antique pieces but I love my collection to always be eclectic. I give my clients – both trade and private ones – not only a wide range of antique pieces but also Art Deco, mid-century and even contemporary art objects and textiles.
The inventory comes mainly from private Italian homes and private sellers.

The site has been launched to support the gallery’s traditional activities, the sale of furniture, works of art and paintings.
I invite you to discover the site and to acquaint yourself with our diverse activities, events and news about the gallery, also browsing the services’ and blog’s section or subscribing to the newsletter, to easily contact me and of course, to gain access to a superb selection of works of art.

The Esposito gallery has an international, loyal following of private collectors and trade customers served with care and dedication with a professional and responsive approach, but always very relaxed and friendly.
Thanks to the presence on the antique market for three generations, the Galleria Esposito Antiquario is able to satisfy any kind of needs or request in the field of furnishing, home decor and interior design.
