Company Description

M.S. Rau is an internationally recognized antiques dealer and a leader in rare and important antiques, fine art and jewelry. Our philosophy of ultimate client satisfaction has guided us for over a century, solidifying our commitment to building life-long relationships of trust with each client. Led by third-generation owner and published fine art expert Bill Rau, the gallery has grown by leaps and bounds since his grandfather Max Rau opened the doors to a then-small antiques store in 1912. Today, our 40,000 square foot gallery overflows with incredible antiques for sale by names including Tiffany & Co., Paul Revere and Fabergé. Our unparalleled selection of important, original paintings and sculpture spans the 16th through the 21st century, created by legendary artists such as Brueghel, Monet and Rockwell, and our diverse selection of exquisite jewels, including rare colored diamonds, Kashmir sapphires and Burma rubies is without equal.
