SINCE 1970 Cantini Antiquarian Bookshop
Prints Graphics Books Paintings
Our business counts more than fifty years of uninterrupted presence in the world of prints and antique books.
Since 1970 my father Vinicio, assisted by my mother Tamara, has represented, with his work and enthusiasm, a significant point of reference for collectors and enthusiasts of the sector, participating in the main auctions and fair realities in Italy and abroad.
In 2000 I began to collaborate with the family business, and since 2006 I became its owner.
As far as antique prints are concerned, I have continued to pay special attention to cartography and vedutistica, both Italian and foreign. We have decorative, genre and author subjects, traditional and contemporary graphics, paper curiosities and handwritten documents.
For books, the preference is for humanistic-scientific, historical-geographical, and medical and natural science subjects. I have expanded the interests of our bibliographic study to local history and early 20th-century editions. We deal with paintings of the Tuscan and Leghorn schools, Neapolitan gouaches, watercolors, drawings and older paintings.
We have always been present at Mercanteinfiera in Parma and participate in other qualified exhibitions - market of printing and antique books.
We offer services of Bibliographic Cataloguing, Appraisal and Appraisal, Restoration, Placement of material in auction houses.
Wishing you a good browsing in our site, we remind you that it is always possible to visit us in the store by arranging an appointment.
