History
Established in 1857, James Graham & Sons is one of the oldest family-run galleries in the United States. The gallery has exhibited the work of some of America's most prominent artists for nearly 150 years. The original founder of the company was Samuel Graham, who was born in Kirkandy, Scotland but moved to London in 1840. There, he married Frances Waring of Hareford and soon after they migrated to New York City. The first official record of Samuel's business activities is listed in the New York City Register of 1857 as, "Samuel Graham, 66 Third Avenue, Furniture".

Sometime between 1857 and 1880, Samuel turned the business over to his son James, who added to the furniture line, "bronzes, turkey rugs, portiers, pictures and rare Curiosities." At the new address of 19 East 14th Street the firm advertised as follows: "I am constantly receiving from Europe all kinds of rare antiques in Furniture, Sculpture, Porcelains and Paintings, Parties desiring to purchase or dispose of any of the above line of goods, would do well to call and examine before purchasing or disposing of the same." In 1955 the firm moved to their present location at 1014 Madison Avenue where the business is currently perpetuated by the fifth generation of the Graham family.

Throughout the gallery's long history it has specialized in various works of art such as: American and English silver, American and European bronzes, American and European paintings, Chinese porcelain, arms and armor, miniatures, firearms, furniture, objects d'art and ship models.
