In honour of our 50th anniversary, we have highlighted 50 auction lots. An eclectic stroll through Classical, Art Deco, the East, the 1960s, ending in the Recent Past.
Internationally renowned Antwerp interior designer Gert Voorjans has also transformed the auction house in such a way that one moment you feel like you are in an Asian boudoir and the next in an Italian palazzo, with a glimpse of the azure blue Mediterranean. Think colourful combinations and baroque arrangements, each with a nod to the past.
The patio is opened as well.
