Gregg Baker Asian Art specialise in selling antique Japanese paper screens, with the largest stock in Europe. Their other works of art range from metalwork, in the form of flower vessels and sculpture, to lacquer ware, cloisonné, scrolls, scholar’s objects and Buddhist sculpture, not only from Japan but also selected works from China and Korea. Established in Mayfair in 1985 by Gregg Baker, the gallery is now located on Kensington Church Street, London, long established as a centre of art and antiques, attracting buyers from all over the world. Central to the gallery’s stock are fine examples of 17th-, 18th- and 19th-century Edo period screens, as well as those from the later Meiji period. The screens range between two-fold to ten-fold examples, and demonstrate Gregg’s carefully-developed eye for these beautiful objects. Gregg has been a strong supporter of Asian Art in London since its inception in 1997, holding a themed exhibition in the autumn of each year, usually accompanied by a catalogue. In an effort to raise awareness of Japanese art, he gives gallery talks to clients and to students from both SOAS and the British Museum. The business advises clients about building collections and supplies additions to the collections of museums in Great Britain, the Netherlands and the United States.
