João and José Mário Andrade opened the gallery in 1985, in Lisbon.

Their basic interests are a result of the central situation of Portugal throuhgout the centuries.

Being one of the oldest nations in Europe, the country has spread its influence, mainly since the 15 th century, with the Discoveries, along Africa, India, South East Asia, the Far East and South America, namely Brasil.

This framework produced a specific range of antiques and works of art, from the genuine european items, although with a national trend, to those where the exotic cultural interaction occurred, creating an original and profound field of interest, with great tradition and increasing international appreciation.

J.ANDRADE is a reflection of this background, offering interesting items, which, although specific, are culturally understandable and closely linked to the artistic evolution along the times.

The company also offers classic international items from european taste to genuine oriental.
