The Art
& Antiques Fair in Namur (Belgium)

Source of
inspiration
A visit to
the museum, a castle, a church or an antique fair is probably the most
important source of inspiration for a woodcarver.
These are
the places where a craftsman gets his ideas from, where he looks for new
challenges and often finds something totally unexpected, and even after 25
years as a woodcarver, you can still get
the sense of learning something new.
We tend to
go there to take a closer look at how our fellow woodcarvers solved certain
problems back in the day and how they applied their knowledge of tasteful
proportions to interior decorating and to analyze the way they shaped things as
well as the woodcarving techniques they applied.

Antica
Namur
Antica
Namur is a must-see event for Belgian and foreign antique dealers. Antica Namur
is where everyone from the world of antiques meets up. With over 125 Belgian
and foreign antique dealers, 28.000 professionals, collectors and art lovers,
it was the place to be this autumn!
Antica
Namur combined quality, charm, tradition and conviviality to make sure that we
had the experience of a lifetime, surrounded by art and antiques.
The
authenticity of the pieces on display is always verified by a team of experts
and therefore guaranteed.
This year,
the theme of the fair was “Gastronomy”, with a special guest appearance by
Gerald Watelet, who took care of the menu in the restaurant at the fair and who
also occupied a stand to give free rein to his decorative skills in an exceptional
atmosphere, completely devoted to the theme of the fair.
In and
around the exhibition space, antique dealers used art to present this year’s
theme of “Gastronomy” by means of paintings, engravings and art objects and
also shed some light on the art of the table, using furniture, porcelain,
glass, silverware and fabrics from renowned collections.
A visit to
the antiques fair is definitely worth your time and if you combine it with a
cultural visit to the city of Namur, you’re sure to have a wonderful day.
I also took a number of pictures during
ANTICA Namur 2015.
