Description

Piano Nobile was established in 1985 and specialises in 20th Century British Art, with an additional focus on wider European Modern Art. With curatorial flair, a refined aesthetic and rigorous scholarship, we source exceptional works of art, often working to place works with Museums and institutions, as well as private collectors. The gallery was founded by Dr Robert Travers, and has been based in Holland Park for twenty years, today it is run by Robert and his son Matthew Travers. In 2019, Piano Nobile opened a further space on Portland Road to support the gallery’s growing exhibition programme. Our name derives from a business established by Robert’s grandparents in Rome after the First World War. Based in the Via Sistina, the gallery sold a range of work from Italian old masters to contemporary paintings by Giorgio de Chirico. In a tribute to the family company, ‘Piano Nobile’ is the Italian phrase for the principal floor of a palazzo – the place where the best art is shown.
