Antiques and Fine Art: London calling for Treasure House Fair
No fewer than 70 internationally renowned exhibitors will take part in the Treasure House Fair at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, in London from June 26-July 1. Among leading British dealers taking part are Ronald Phillips, Richard Green, Osborne Samuel, Wartski, Adrian Sassoon, Butchoff Antiques, MacConnal-Mason, Godson & Coles, Koopman Rare Art, Frank Partridge, SJ Phillips, Adrian Alan and Frank Partridge. They will present a spectacular selection of furniture, silver, decorative arts and jewellery.
International galleries include three New York institutions: the antique jeweller À La Vieille Russie, silver specialists SJ Shrubsole and the leading authority in antique porcelain, Michele Beiny. "We like to think of ourselves as a festival rather than an art fair," says director and co-founder Thomas Woodham-Smith. His grandmother was the historian Cecil Woodham-Smith, author of The Great Hunger.
Phillip Mould will bring the 1932 'Still Life with Fan' by Vanessa Bell to the Treasure House Fair.
The Treasure House Fair was founded in 2023 by Woodham-Smith and Harry Van der Hoorn, co-founders of the famed Masterpiece fair which ran from 2009-2022.

I just look at her and think, 'God, you must be walking on cloud nine, having such an amazing son.' 'I love the fact he's got into country life. I always remember him queuing when the Queen passed away. It shows respect on such a level and he is a great role model to young boys, young men and children growing up today.' 4 Gemma, known as The GC to fans, feels she could play a role of agony aunt to Charles amid his fallout with youngest son Prince Harry Credit: Racing Post 4 Gemma shared her thoughts on David Beckham's Knighthood news Credit: Getty
