Questroyal Fine Art: What Makes Us Different
Questroyal Fine Art is an established New York art gallery that specializes in important nineteenth- and twentieth-century American paintings and rare historical documents. Gallery owner Louis M. Salerno is an avid American art collector. He believes that the commitment of capital is the true measure of conviction; therefore, Questroyal only sells what it owns. He understands what it means to make serious financial commitments, to doubt one's own judgment, and to deal with the pressures of salesmanship.
The Questroyal staff is supportive and understanding. You can expect patience and transparency with an equal emphasis placed on the positives, as well as the negatives, of each potential acquisition. In the end, what matters most and what helps us grow our business is earning your trust—something worth far more than any individual sale. This concept has been and will always be our highest priority.
The Questroyal Collection
American Paintings
Questroyal Fine Art offers quality examples from every prominent American artistic movement of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries including the Hudson River School, Impressionism, Modernism, and Tonalism. The gallery's extensive, ever-changing inventory highlights the works of Hudson River School masters Frederic Church, Thomas Cole, Sanford Robinson Gifford, Jasper Francis Cropsey, John Frederick Kensett, Martin Johnson Heade, and many others. Questroyal also features works by visionary artists Ralph Albert Blakelock, George Inness, and Charles Burchfield; Impressionists William Merritt Chase, John Singer Sargent, and Childe Hassam; and Modernists Milton Avery, Oscar Bluemner, Alfred Maurer, and Marsden Hartley. Questroyal's diverse inventory includes more than five hundred paintings with examples from these and other highly regarded American artists.
Historical Documents
Questroyal has expanded its inventory to include rare historical letters, manuscripts, and autographs written by famous Americans. Our inventory includes documents from the American Revolution through the Civil War and World War II eras and features letters signed by presidents ranging from George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Andrew Jackson, and John Quincy Adams to Dwight Eisenhower and Barack Obama. Historical documents written by Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Davy Crockett, Mark Twain, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and other important figures are also available. Each letter features compelling and relevant content that offers insight into the personal and professional life of its creator and American history.
The Gallery Experience
We are excited to have clients visit. Drinks are served, the staff says hello, and there is a buzz about the gallery. Some galleries act as if the client is a distraction, but we have our priorities straight. Without you, we would be nothing more than a glorified warehouse in a high-rent district. New and experienced collectors have invaluable knowledge and opinions relating to the art market that tells us which artists command attention, what the mood of the market is, and which of our paintings have the most impact. Client interaction is important to us on both a personal and professional level.
The Creative Deal
Our most fundamental business strategy is to maintain sensible profit margins and offer paintings at competitive values; however, this only works if you, the client, agree with our assessment. Differences of opinion can stimulate vigorous conversation and we encourage this. No question is unimportant, no offer is offensive, and every idea is worthy of consideration. There is no ego at work here.
