The Story of Barnebys
EST. 2011
Barnebys Group is a Swedish company with offices located in Stockholm, London and New York.
The idea behind Barnebys came when we ourselves realised how difficult it was to navigate around the art world. This was back in 2011, when, after many hours searching the web, the results were practically fruitless: there was no where to access all art and antiques in one place.
Our Swedish site was launched in the fall of 2011, and just a couple of months later, the lion's share of the Scandinavian houses were affiliated with Barnebys and just a click away. We've come a long way since, and we’re now in the US, UK, France, Spain, Germany and Italy.
We're positive that our concept – where the auction house and dealers are put at the forefront to maintain their customer relationships – will remain a success.
Since then, we have added Collectors Weekly, Value My Stuff and Skeleton to our portfolio.
