Rafael Valls Limited is a St. James’s art gallery mainly dealing in Old Master Paintings with specialist areas in Dutch, Flemish and Spanish paintings. Owned and run by Rafael Valls and his wife Caroline, the gallery has traded for over forty years and it carries an eclectic and varied stock. The gallery has gained an enviable reputation for trompe l’oeil paintings and for the small exhibitions it holds once a year around Old Master Paintings Week.
The gallery exhibits every year at The European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht, which is now regarded as the finest art and antiques fair anywhere in the world.
We purchase works of art directly from private clients and act as agents for individuals as well as providing valuations for insurance and probate, advice on conservation and advice to buyers and sellers at auction.
