About Us
An international reputation
The team at Shapero Rare Books has over 100 years’ collective experience in rare books, particularly travel, natural history and Russian materials. It has been involved in advising, building and de-accessioning important collections.
Rare Books & Works on Paper
Our stock is in Mayfair (the gallery is open from 9:30 to 18:30 Mondays to Fridays and 11:00 to 17:00 on Saturdays) and, if you are looking for something really special and important that we don’t have; we’d be delighted to advise you on your interests and evaluate your collection.
Modern & contemporary prints
In 2014 we launched Shapero Modern; our modern and contemporary prints department in the gallery at 32 St. George Street. We hold 4-5 exhibitions throughout the year focussing on topical themes in our collection.
