Abbott and Holder Ltd

About

Robert Abbott and Eric Holder started dealing together in 1936. In 1942 they published the first of our famous Lists, which are still issued monthly (now online) and introduce 100 new items to our large stock. The company moved to our current premises in Museum Street, just opposite the British Museum, in 1987. Here we always have hundreds of works of art from the mid-eighteenth to mid-twentieth century on view over two floors.

Tom Edwards joined the company in 2003 having read History of Art at the Courtauld Institute. He became a Director in 2012 and from 2021 has been sole owner and Managing Director. Tom is a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Arts Scholars, a Trustee of the Fine Arts Provident Institution and a member of the BADA council.
