About us
One of the leading rare book dealers in the world and the largest antiquarian book dealer in Europe, Peter Harrington has, for over half a century, dealt with a stock of thousands of fine books, from rare seventeenth-century Shakespeare folios to highly sought-after contemporary classics such as signed and inscribed first editions of the Harry Potter series.
In tandem with our bookselling, we have always maintained a gallery. Old Church Galleries ran alongside the bookshop for decades, and this has now evolved into the Peter Harrington Gallery. We specialise in original prints across all mediums from the late 1900s to the present day, including Impressionism, Expressionism, Modern British, Pop Art, Op Art, Contemporary, YBA, and Urban. Our prints are exhibited alongside rare books at our galleries in Chelsea, Mayfair, and our newly opened gallery in New York.
We have a team of over 70 staff across 4 sites, with expertise covering wide areas of antiquarian bookselling as well as a gallery and bindery. We exhibit regularly at several international book and antique fairs and look to continue our growth as one of the leaders in our field. Our business has grown considerably over the last decade, including acquisition of a share of an American bookseller and the purchase of a property which we are developing to meet our needs.Job Requirements
