A La Vieille Russie

A La Vieille Russie, a family enterprise since its founding in Kiev in 1851, left the turmoil of the Revolution and was re-established in Paris around 1920 by Jacques Zolotnitsky, the grandson of the founder. The New York branch was opened in 1941 by the late Alexander Schaffer. Under the direction of brothers, Messrs. Paul and Peter L. Schaffer, and Paul’s son, Dr. Mark Schaffer, we continue the tradition of dealing in fine art and antiques our present location at 745 Fifth Avenue. We specialize in European and American antique jewelry, 18th-century European gold snuff boxes, and antique Russian fine and decorative art. Goldsmith and jeweler Carl Fabergé was a client, and we are recognized today as international experts on his works.
