where we build up an international “clientele”,mainly collectors and dealers in early furniture, medieval sculpture, old master portraits, early Works of Art and Decorative Objects , we found by chance at the Belgium-Dutch border a late

1850-1950., which led us to our 1st Exhibition, “Petits Maitres Francais 1850-1950
