It all began with a modest antique shop in the centre of Bangkok thirty nine years ago. Chanarong Chongtanavanit who took root in a family of antiquarians and who was driven by his passion for antiques, started his first Art and Antique Gallery. He travelled all over Asia looking for genuine and fine quality artefacts with the aim of satisfying and pleasing his demanding clientele. Providing frien
ds, partners and dealers from all over Europe and America with superb antiques, appreciation grew and it became a successful family enterprise with more galleries to follow in Thailand. With time it became more and more difficult to find the much desired, genuine, works of art and keeping our partners satisfied. It was then, encouraged by our clientele, that AGAL was created. Having a profound knowledge of antiques we looked for designers and highly skilled artisans to reproduce the fine furniture and collectables with an uncompromising sense for detail and quality aiming at, at least, being equal or even better than the original. Today we have more than 20 years of experience designing and manufacturing our products. Early 2010 AGAL has finished building its new atelier where designers and artisans create furniture reflecting Chinese and Southeast Asian motifs but with a contemporary touch and functionality, our creations also encompass bronze sculptures, stone sculptures and paintings. We aim at identifying and building value based on understanding customer needs bearing in mind the aesthetic, originality and superior quality.
