Gallery BAC

What Gallery BAC does

Gallery BAC is a privately held antique and design furniture gallery founded in 2001 and headquartered in a single showroom at 153 Lafayette Street, 6th Floor, in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City. The gallery specializes in curated 19th-century through mid-20th-century European furniture, with a particular focus on Nordic (Swedish and Danish) and French Art Deco and Modernist pieces, featuring attributions to designers such as Jean-Michel Frank, Axel Einar Hjorth, Josef Frank, Frits Henningsen, Nordiska Kompaniet, Jean Dunand, and others. Its offering spans product categories including seating, tables, desks, cabinets, lighting, rugs, and decorative objects, with items available in both restored and unrestored conditions and optional restoration services provided in-house.

The business operates on a direct sales-led model through the physical showroom, supplemented by a minimalist digital presence via a website catalog and an Instagram account (gallery_bac). Customers inquire via email and visit during business hours (Monday–Friday, 10AM–6PM), with no e-commerce or third-party marketplace transactions. The gallery serves two primary customer segments: high-net-worth collectors seeking authenticated and provenance-documented pieces, and interior designers and architects sourcing distinctive furniture for luxury residential and commercial projects. Source geographies for inventory include the UK, France, Sweden, and Denmark, indicating an international sourcing network despite a single-point domestic sales footprint.

Gallery BAC operates the legal entity "BAC" in New York, USA, is independently owned with no parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investment, and is staffed by approximately 6 employees. The company also maintains a consulting practice under the name Aparicio + Associates, publishes editorial content documenting its inventory, and features a portfolio of completed interior installations (Bellport, Buenos Aires Recoleta). No funding rounds, M&A activity, public listings, or leadership changes are disclosed.
