Andrew Lilley Contemporary Art Trader and Andrew Lilley Fine Art Limited are named as defendants.
Companies House records last year showed the firm had nearly £2million of assets.
The company’s website claims it has ‘helped clients from all over the world find the artwork that appeals to them’.
It adds: ‘Whether you are looking for the latest Banksy or a sought-after Andy Warhol original, we have the expertise and experience to track down the prints, photography or original artworks that are making such an impact on the art scene right now.’
Daily Mail has contacted Andrew Lilley and Ant and Dec for comment.
When Ant divorced ex-wife Lisa Armstrong in 2018, Lisa remained in their former £4million home in Chiswick, West London, which had Banksy on its walls.
The couple were together for more than two decades and married for 11 years.
He went on to marry Anne-Marie Corbett in August 2021, in a lavish wedding that reportedly cost a whopping £500,00, with Dec as best man.
