According to the company's own history page, on 19 December 1919, shortly before Christmas, the 25-year-old art dealer and restorer Leo Spik opened his first art and antiques shop at Motzstraße 9 in Berlin-Schöneberg. The page states that this created a family business in the heart of Berlin that, 100 years later, continues and keeps alive its passion for art and antiques. It notes that the Motzstraße at that time was part of a well-known centre for antiques near Wittenbergplatz, but that the political situation made his beginnings difficult: the four-month-old Weimar Republic was fragile, the aftermath of the lost war was still felt everywhere, and the art trade faced new restrictions, including a 15 percent luxury tax and, one week before Spik opened his shop, a rule that the export of art would be restricted so that nationally valuable cultural property could only be sold abroad with state permission. The page adds that the young entrepreneur was not discouraged and remained active, and that at a large Asiatica auction at the then-important auction house Rudolph Lepke he discovered the appeal of East Asian art.
