We are art and antique dealers known worldwide for our collection of beautiful Russian antiques and jeweled works of art. We are recognized as leading dealers and international experts in the work of goldsmith and jeweler Carl Fabergé, who was himself a client. We also specialize in European and American antique jewelry, 18th-century European gold snuff boxes, and antique Russian fine and decorative art, including silver, enamel, porcelain, paintings, icons, and furniture. We offer works of only the highest quality provided by the result of generations of knowledge and expertise, in an environment of integrity, education, service, and personal attention.
A La Vieille Russie, a family enterprise since its founding in Kyiv in 1851, left the turmoil of the Revolution and was re-established in Paris around 1920 by Jacques Zolotnitsky, the grandson of the founder. The New York branch was opened in 1941 by the late Alexander Schaffer. Under the direction of brothers, Messrs. Paul and Peter L. Schaffer, and Paul’s son, Dr. Mark Schaffer, we continue the tradition of dealing in fine art and antiques from our present location at 745 Fifth Avenue.
