Shapero Rare Books is an internationally renowned dealer in antiquarian books and works on paper. Our experts have over 250 years of experience between them, with particular expertise in fine illustrated books from the 15th to the 20th century, travel & voyages, natural history, literature (including modern first editions), children’s books, guidebooks, Hebraica & Judaica, works of Russian interest and Islamica.

In 2014 we launched Shapero Modern, a modern and contemporary gallery which curates several shows annually at their Maddox Street gallery.

We also specialise in prints and original works on paper across a broad range of subjects, from antique prints to modern pochoir plates, as well as photographs from vintage photography to modern art photography.

With three locations in Mayfair, on New Bond Street and Maddox Street, most of our stock is on public display.
