Jay Arenski has been established in London for almost 40 years and the accumulation of knowledge over that time has led to a gradual evolution of the business, which encompasses works of art, sculpture and design from many cultures and periods in history.
In 2005 the Antique Collectors Club published Jay Arenski’s and Simon Daniel’s book “Swiss carvings the Art of the Black Forest”. The book was the culmination of Jay and Simon’s long held passion for dealing and collecting these wonderful carvings.
A particular interest, and one that has contributed to this growth, is the influence of one population upon another and the resulting cross-cultural design, which is frequently vibrant and unusual.
Jay Arenski is particularly known for his love of animals especially dogs and bears. In 2005 the Antique Collectors Club published Jay Arenski’s and Simon Daniel’s book “Swiss carvings the Art of the Black Forest”. The book was the culmination of Jay and Simon’s long held passion for dealing and collecting these wonderful carvings.
