The Blumka Gallery was founded in Vienna in the nineteenth century and transferred to New York in 1939. It has long been one of the world's leading galleries of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque scultpture and works or art and has sold to leading collectors and institutions, among them the Metropolitan Museum, Louvre, Rijksmuseum, the Frick Collection and the Getty Museum. Now run by a fourth-generation member of the Blumka Family, the gallery is relocating to new premises in Manhattan and has decided to offer several works of furniture no longer required in their new space.
