History


The Gilberts were passionate philanthropists, inveterate art collectors and astute business people.

 

Born and raised in England, the Gilberts immigrated to Los Angeles in 1949 and became successful real estate entrepreneurs. They committed their efforts to significant charitable endeavors locally and in the state of Israel while assembling one of the world's preeminent decorative arts collections.

 

In 1996, a year after Rosalinde passed away, Arthur donated to England their world renowned collection of snuff and decorative boxes, decorative gold and silver, micro-mosaics, Judaica and enamel miniatures. This collection, the most lavish gift ever given by a non-citizen to England, is housed in the Gilbert galleries at The Victoria and Albert Museum in London and at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Arthur Gilbert was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1999.
