Antica Namur is an international art fair that has been held in Belgium since 1977. The fair was immediately popular when it was launched, and its reputation and popularity have only grown over the years. It has also grown slowly and steadily in size. Today, around 135 different dealers are carefully selected to exhibit their pieces at this fair. They range from large international houses to young antique dealers and gallery owners, creating a wide range of specialties for visitors to admire.
The organizers of Antica Namur take great pride in the quality of both the selected exhibitors and the pieces on display. Neither is by chance; great care is taken to ensure that standards remain high, which is one of the reasons for the fair's excellent reputation. For those who follow this art fair closely in the run-up to the main event, it is always exciting to see the announcement of the list of galleries selected for each year's event.
Quality control does not only take place during the organization of Antica Namur. It is, however, rigorous, as all the pieces are examined by nearly thirty independent Belgian and foreign experts with various specialties. During the fair itself, renowned specialists patrol the aisles to make sure that the items on display meet the fair's criteria for authenticity and correspond to what their label or identification card says. This level of care has earned the fair a reputation for excellence, making it a must-attend event for all passionate art lovers.
There is always a buzz about Antica Namur, not least because of the quality and range of works of art and antiques on offer. Visitors can expect to see marble sculptures, modern paintings, Chinese bronzes, fine ceramics, furniture, photographs, estate jewelry, decorative carpets, and much more. There are pieces to suit all tastes and budgets, and the overall atmosphere of this fair is friendly and welcoming.
The success of Antica Namur inspired its organizers to launch Antica Brussels, an offshoot of the original fair. Held in the iconic Tour & Taxis venue, Antica Brussels continues the tradition of Antica Namur, bringing together art lovers and collectors in a well-known and popular location. The aim is to share the famous Antica Namur experience with a wider audience in a historic setting.
