BRAFA, the Brussels Antiques and Fine Art Fair has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1956. It is now one of the art and antiques sector’s top 5 fairs. 115 leading galleries from fifteen countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Monaco, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates and the USA - 40% Belgian and 60% foreign) present works of art in 20 specialties including classical archaeology, tribal art, pre-Colombian art, Asian art, jewelry, silverware, coins, furniture and art objects dating from the Middle Ages to today, old and modern paintings, contemporary art and design, sculpture, ceramics, contemporary glass and porcelain, carpets and textiles, drawings, original cartoons, engravings, rare books, photography and autographs.
For this 67th edition the fair has moved to new 15.000 m² quarters at Brussels Expo where close to 15,000 objects will be on display. BRAFA’s exhibitor selection process is rigorous, and all objects are verified by an international committee of over 100 experts before the fair opens its doors to the public. We hear from General Secretary Christian Vrouyr and guest of honor Arne Quinze (PAUL: pronounced Arnuh Quinn-Zuh).
19 to 26 June
