About
Peter Petrou
Peter Petrou have been established in London for 40 years and the accumulation of knowledge over that time has lead to a gradual evolution of the business, which encompasses works of art, sculpture and design from many cultures and periods in history.
A particular interest, and one that has contributed to this growth, is the influence of one population upon another and the resulting cross-cultural design, which is frequently vibrant and unusual.
Stock
Individually, the works of art sold by Peter Petrou are recognized for their exceptional design, execution and artistic endeavour (there have been a number of museum sales over the years).
The particular strength of the business, which can be seen at the fairs where they exhibit, is incorporating this diverse collection with mid-20th-century and contemporary cutting edge design.
This juxtaposition enables clients to nurture their natural desire to expand areas of interest and incorporate ‘new’ ideas.
