Ten years ago, gallery founder Victoria Ruffa began exploring global antique markets. What started as a spontaneous passion for fine art quickly evolved into a systematic collection of rare decorative and applied arts.
Her personal experience buying and selling at major global auction houses—such as Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and Phillips—shaped the gallery’s rigorous standards, which place a premium on expert appraisal, documented bibliography, and impeccable provenance.
The gallery's collection features over 170 lots, curated into three distinct sections:
1. Collectible Design: Limited-edition or unique furniture and lighting pieces crafted with flawless artistic taste.
2. Vintage Decorative Arts: Original, mid-century and early 20th-century artisan pieces. We strictly ensure that production of these items has ceased forever—they can never be replicated, back-ordered, or purchased in a standard store.
3. Fine Art: High-caliber paintings, sculptures, and tapestries that infuse interiors with profound emotional depth.
Each category is supported by a detailed catalog, with the most significant works accompanied by bespoke, in-depth presentations.
RAFINAD Gallery provides interior designers and architects with rare, one-of-a-kind pieces that serve as the conceptual centerpiece for sophisticated design projects.
