Martell Gallery

Martell Gallery occupies a storefront at 859 NE 125th Street in North Miami, on the same block of small independent galleries that has developed near the Museum of Contemporary Art and the city’s downtown civic buildings. What sets Martell Gallery apart from some of its neighbors is the specific focus of its inventory, rare and one of a kind period art pieces, including art glass, furniture, sculpture, photography, lighting, and decorative accessories rather than a general rotating selection of contemporary paintings.

According to the gallery’s own description, the collection runs to over a thousand pieces, with an emphasis on items that are genuinely scarce or unique rather than mass produced editions. That focus places Martell Gallery closer to the antiques and decorative arts trade than a typical contemporary art space, appealing to collectors looking for a specific artist, material, or period style rather than browsing for new work. The gallery encourages detailed inquiries about particular pieces, suggesting a business that works closely with individual collectors rather than relying purely on walk-in retail traffic.

Martell Gallery also maintains a second location in Madrid, Spain, which is an unusual footprint for a small North Miami storefront but underscores that this is a specialty dealer with an international client base rather than a purely local shop. That international reach has not changed its footing in North Miami, where the gallery remains part of the same walkable strip of independent art businesses along NE 125th Street, alongside custom framers and other small galleries.

For anyone exploring this corridor of North Miami, Martell Gallery is worth a stop specifically for its focus on rare glass, furniture, and period pieces, a niche that distinguishes it from the more contemporary-leaning galleries nearby. The gallery maintains an active Instagram presence, which is a useful way to get a sense of current inventory before visiting in person, particularly since specific walk-in hours were not listed publicly at the time of this profile.

Martell Gallery’s presence in North Miami is a good example of how the city’s small commercial gallery district has attracted dealers with genuinely specialized inventories, not just general-purpose art retailers. Collectors with an interest in art glass, mid-century furniture, or period sculpture will find Martell Gallery a more targeted stop than most of the other galleries on the block, while still benefiting from the same easy, walkable access to North Miami’s downtown arts cluster near MOCA and City Hall.
