Marian Mudrák

"I have been active in the art and antiques market for over 25 years. I founded Aragorn Gallery together with my wife. Our journey began with the opening of our first store in Zvolenská Slatina and continued through locations in Zvolen and Banská Štiavnica, leading to the fulfillment of a major goal: the opening of our new showroom directly on the R1 highway near Zvolen in 2024. My work is not just about buying and selling; it is about preserving Slovak cultural heritage."

Andrea Mudráková

"For more than 25 years, I have been building the Aragorn Gallery brand alongside my husband and children. Our shared dream was to create the largest antique center in Slovakia, a goal we achieved in 2024 with the opening of our 'MEGAstarožitnosti' premises on the R1 highway. In addition to client relations, my true passion lies in showroom styling. I carefully arrange each piece to ensure our customers always feel welcome and inspired."

Erik Mudrák

"As the second generation of our family business, I took over the baton with the goal of bringing tradition into the digital age. Together with my parents, we have built the largest antique e-shop in Slovakia. Driven by my passion for design, I have successfully expanded our presence to the international market through global platforms. My specialization lies in online platform management, marketing, international client relations, and the coordination of complex restoration projects."

Adela Mudráková

"I’m so proud to be part of the second generation of our family firm! You’ve likely seen me in our photos and ads, as I’m often the face of Aragorn Gallery. When you visit us in person, I’m here to make sure you have a great experience. I work alongside my parents and brother to guide our guests, and I’d be delighted to help you find your own special piece of history."
