BRAFA fronts up with 130 exhibitors and a high-profile guest
15 January 2018Brussels gears up for its major art and antiques fair this month with the latest edition of BRAFA.
![img_38-4.jpg](/media/23738/img_38-4.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131604935560000000)
Collaborations and cross-cultural displays at Winter Bruneaf
15 January 2018While BRAFA understandably dominates much of the cultural headlines during this period, it is not the only show in town.
![img_37-4.jpg](/media/23733/img_37-4.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131604919760000000)
Early works of art at BRAFA 2018
15 January 2018BRAFA has long been a fair with a speciality in early (medieval and Renaissance) works of art, which is something that dates back to the years when it was a Belgian National fair in the city centre. It thus serves a venerable collecting tradition drawing in buyers from the local area and further afield.
![img_38-2.jpg](/media/23736/img_38-2.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131604928430000000)
Tribal Art at BRAFA 2018
15 January 2018Tribal art has long been a Belgian speciality due to the country’s colonial history in Africa. So it is not surprising to see this area well represented at BRAFA, with around a dozen participants in this field hailing from Paris, Brussels and as far away as Montreal.
![img_36-3.jpg](/media/23729/img_36-3.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131604909830000000)
Antiquities at BRAFA 2018
15 January 2018Antiquities is one of BRAFA’s strong suits in terms of exhibitor volume. Around 10 specialists in this field are standing, plus a number of others that mix antiquities with, for example, Asian art.
![img_38-3.jpg](/media/23737/img_38-3.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131604930210000000)
Curiosities at BRAFA 2018
15 January 2018Some of the works on offer at BRAFA are simply too quirky to fit into any time-honoured collecting category, but they are often responsible for creating an eyecatching draw to a particular stand.
![img_46-2.jpg](/media/21128/img_46-2.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131538340230000000)
Antica Namur fair staged for 41st time
30 October 2017While the French capital says hello to the new Fine Arts Paris fair, over in Namur in Belgium organisers are gearing up to mount the 41st staging of Antica Namur.
![img_38-1.jpg](/media/17076/img_38-1.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131447678150000000)

![img_59-1.jpg](/media/16622/img_59-1.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131435637210000000)
Pair of Belgian treats in Brussels and Bruges

Paris Tableau skates over to Brussels
30 May 2017A Parisian fair is ‘exploring new horizons’ with its first international event held at a former royal ice rink in the Belgian capital.
![img_46-1.jpg](/media/14792/img_46-1.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131399219680000000)

22 May 2017An unexpected highlight of an April 28-29 sale held by Brussels saleroom The Romantic Agony (24% buyer’s premium), was a leaf from an illuminated manuscript.
![img_44-1.jpg](/media/14785/img_44-1.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131399272400000000)
Introduction to a summer of tribal shows
22 May 2017Tribal, non-European or ethnographic art has experienced a huge growth in both general and financial appreciation this century. This boost is partly due to the connections made between indigenous art and its influence on modern and contemporary artists.
![2280NEDI Falcon Fine Art Tim Hunter 16-02-16.jpg](/media/9558/2280nedi-falcon-fine-art-tim-hunter-16-02-16.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462556000000000)

![Hubert 2276IE 20-01-17.jpg](/media/9291/hubert-2276ie-20-01-17.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462555870000000)
