The Antiques and Old Masters section of BRAFA will be enhanced this year by Petworth located Vagabond Antiques (UK), whose founder Joe Chaffer has a rich collection of sculptures, paintings and objects dating from the second century AD to the nineteenth century. Also joining the list of participants in the field of ancient art are Arte-Fact Fine Art (BE), a gallery specializing in Old Master paintings (BE), and Pelgrims de Bigard (BE), renowned for its expertise in fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth century Flemish paintings. Carlucci Gallery (IT), located in the prestigious Via del Babuino in the heart of Rome, will be exhibiting paintings by Old Masters, antique furniture and sculpture at the next edition of the fair.
The King Baudouin Foundation, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, will be the guest of honor. Visitors will be able to discover an extended stand, featuring recent acquisitions as well as masterpieces that have been entrusted to Belgian museums and public collections over time.
Amongst other things, the King Baudouin Foundation will be presenting a beautiful bracelet by Pol Bury, a figure of Christ by Willem Key, a tapestry by Elisabeth De Saedeleer and a unique coat of Brussels lace. It will also be exhibiting emblematic works such as Bonnecroy’s panoramic view of Brussels, the delicate Holy Blood banner and the Gallic Treasure of Thuin.
The organizers share that “Beyond the quality of the works on display, BRAFA brings together an international constellation of gallery owners, collectors, curators, patrons, decorators, designers and art lovers every year. This community helps to make the fair a true cultural event that fosters exchange.”
