Antigüedades Rolle Sánchez

When you think about your business, what are you most proud of?

From being the fourth generation, and from our magnificent premises in the heart of the Barrio de las Letras.

What is the history of your commerce?

Our great-grandparents started with large chandeliers at the Rastro. Our grandfather continued with Haute Époque pieces and began to vindicate 19th century Spanish painting. Our parents specialised in this type of painting and moved to Calle del Prado, in the current Barrio de las Letras.

What is your professional experience?

My sister and I have strived to maintain the professionalism and "good work" of our predecessors, adding the use of new technologies and adapting to the times.

How has covid 19 affected your business?

Our business is in an area with a lot of foreign tourism, from which we used to get a large part of our clientele. Nowadays, that has changed and we have had to adapt. In our foyer, for example, we offer pieces at very good prices.

What services and products does your business provide?

We offer general antiques, although we specialise in 19th century Spanish paintings, selected showcase and collectors items and bronze figures.
