The gallery opened in May 1908.[2] It was owned and run by Max Rothschild and Robert René Meyer-Sée[3] until Meyer-Sée left to run the Marlborough Gallery in August 1912. The gallery specialised in the sale of old master works and the Futurist exhibition was untypical of its activities.[2]

The gallery closed in 1939.
