[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_single_image image=”34829″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

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.<\/h3>\n

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. <\/p>\n

The patio is opened as well.<\/p>\n
