Jean-Pierre Defossé, the fair’s curator, oversees the selection of exhibitors and the quality of the showcased pieces. His acknowledged expertise and discerning eye ensure the artworks meet the fair’s high standards.
A team of renowned experts, including Patricia De Zwaed (modern art), Rudi Heselmans (old paintings), and Serge List (jewelry and watches), will guide visitors and guarantee the authenticity and quality of the exhibits.
An exceptional selection of galleries and antiques
The fair features an impressive lineup of exhibitors from France, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy, and other countries.
Among the highlights is the Galerie Manuscripta (France), led by Cyril Gaillard, which will showcase a 1955 original drawing by Yves Saint Laurent. This rare piece reflects the designer’s affinity for the fine arts, haute couture, and ballet.
« At this fair, I favor modern graphic works that appeal to both art lovers and seasoned collectors. The fair attracts a diverse audience with budgets ranging from 500 to 40.000 euros, and an average spend of around 2.000 euros. It caters to both enthusiasts and collectors seeking rare, high-quality items at competitive prices. »

The Galerie Delobelle & Delobelle (Belgium) invites visitors into the elegant world of antique English furniture. Sophisticated desks, secretaries, and bookcases each tell a unique story, reflecting an era where craftsmanship and aesthetics were perfectly intertwined.
« What makes this fair so special is the diversity and quality of the visitors. They are not only interested in the object itself but also in its history, restoration, and provenance. It is a true pleasure to share our passion with such a curious and well-informed audience. This is an event of exceptional quality, both in terms of logistics and the variety of exhibited works. Every effort is made to facilitate the exhibitors’ work, and this is reflected in the experience offered to visitors. »

« This fair is a unique platform to meet a diverse audience, whether they are collectors seeking exceptional works, families needing expertise for an inheritance, or individuals looking to enhance their private collections.
