Moderne Gallery is internationally renowned for its high quality, vintage 20th Century furniture, lighting and accessories. More than 16,000 square feet on four floors of its historic "warehouse" building in the Old City section of Philadelphia are filled with an extensive inventory -- from French and American Art Deco and French 1940's -1950's to exclusive Wharton Esherick pieces and the best selection of 1950's-1980's work of George Nakashima.
This is the very finest gallery for mid-century modern and studio craft furniture in the country--and it's right here in Philadelphia! Owner/director Bob Aibel is widely considered the world's leading expert/dealer in the vintage furniture of the legendary woodworker George Nakashima. Moderne Gallery always has amazing furnishings and decorative arts to discover.
If you're looking for great French Art Deco, this gallery has an amazing inventory. There are 4 additional floors above the street level gallery, so if you go make sure you take a look around them as well - most of the furniture on the upper floors is not yet refinished but there are truly gems to be found. Plus they have a refinishing shop in house so they do the work quickly and reasonably.
the quality of the nakashima here is exceptional, the prices are 2/3 what they are everywhere else, and bob's knowledge of nakashima's work and life is unmatched. if you're looking for nakashima or american craft work, this is truly the place to go.
Wonderful selection of vintage craft pieces.
Amazing Inventory. Like being in a New York Gallery.
Bob Aibel is THE expert on George Nakashima and antique decorative arts!
Love what they have to offer. And love the owner, what a guy!
Amazing Nakashima!!
This place is amazing! I have purchased some great pieces, the price was always right and the staff is beyond friendly and knowledgable!
Incredibly broad inventory of the best of the 20th century - and their works by Nakashima and Esherick can't be rivaled.
The most unique selection of 20th century decorative arts including some of the finest vintage pieces from Philadelphia area masters - Nakashima, Esherick, Whitley. Also have a wonderful selection of French and American Art Deco and 1940's design. They are certainly the premiere gallery for Nakashima and Esherick in the USA.
