History
In 1867, the master carpenter Johann Baptiste Paffrath (1812–1880) founded a company in Düsseldorf. His carpenter's workshop was located at Ritterstraße 3 in the early 1860s,[1] in which he made the transport boxes for the works of the painters of the Düsseldorf School of Painting and the professors of the Art Academy, which were in great demand overseas. He also set up studio rooms for the artists. The painters often owed the invoice amount and instead gave paintings in payment. The foundation of the gallery was, so to speak, the "box debt". And so the art trade began alongside the carpentry trade on Jacobistrasse in house no. 10 (1865) and the later no. 14a (after 1870), in immediately adjacent to the Malkasten on the properties of Georg Oeder.[2][3] The move to house no. 14a, which was on the estate of the former Jacobi'schen Zuckermanufaktur,[4] was necessary before Oeder had his Haus am Düsseldorfer Hofgarten built at Jacobistraße 10 in 1872.[5]
His son Georg Paffrath (1847–1925) took over the art shop in 1878 (located at Jacobistraße 14a) and expanded it into an art gallery in the course of Düsseldorf's upswing as a prosperous industrial and trading city. In 1914, the gallery moved to the house built by the architect
In 1918, the two sons Hans Paffrath (1877–1958) and Georg Paffrath (1881–1944) took over the gallery and shared the commercial and artistic management until 1944. They expanded the range to include modernity and established relationships with artists and collectors from England, Italy, France, Scandinavia or the USA, making Paffrath an international art house. In addition, he was an intensive consultant for major German museums.
