Lawrie & Co.

Lawrie & Co., opened in 1892 and closed in 1904, was an art dealership and gallery in London, England. The gallery was founded by Thomas Lawrie, a painter and paperhanger. By 1893 the gallery was situated in 15 Old Bond Street. The opening exhibition on Bond Street featured pieces by Diego Velázquez, George Romney, Thomas Gainsborough, John Constable, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, and Jean-François Millet. The gallery prospered and by the twentieth century, Lawrie & Co. supplied virtually all Dutch masterworks entering the American market. Later on the gallery moved to 159 New Bond Street. In October 1904, Lawrie & Co. closed its two offices, at 159 New Bond Street, London and 85 St Vincent Street Glasgow.
