Colnaghi
P & D Colnaghi & Co is an art dealership in New Bond Street, Mayfair, central London, England, which is the oldest commercial art gallery in the world, having been established in 1760.
==Foundation==
The business that became the Colnaghi gallery was established by Italian firework manufacturer, Giovanni Battista Torre, in Paris, France, in 1760. Torre opened a shop with the name "Cabinet de Physique Expérimentale", where he sold scientific instruments, books and prints.
In 1767, Torre's son Anthony Torre moved to London where he opened a sister shop, specialising in prints, in partnership with another Italian immigrant, Anthony Molteno. Giovanni Torre died in 1780, and in 1784 Anthony Torre hired Paul Colnaghi—newly arrived in Paris from Milan—to manage a new shop in Paris. Colnaghi left Paris for London in May 1785, to join Torre and Molteno, who had become successful selling prints by leading engravers such as William Wynne Ryland and Valentine Green. The London business moved to Pall Mall in 1786 and Colnaghi married Anthony Torre's sister-in-law Elizabeth Baker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=British Museum - Term details )〕
