Sinai and Sons

Raphael and Joshua Sinai offer documented and unusual examples of remarkable decorative art and design from the 19th and 20th centuries - an eclectic selection drawn from Europe, Asia and America.

Encouraged to open a gallery by their father, Eli Sinai, Raphael and Joshua returned to London after gaining invaluable and productive experience in New York City, Raphael as a specialist in the 20th-century decorative arts department of Christie's auctioneers and Joshua with a private dealer and collector specializing in 19th-century decorative arts.
