Returning to the Royal Hospital Chelsea in late June, The Treasure House Fair offered a welcome moment of elegance and cultural focus in London’s summer calendar. The weather was sweltering, the Pommery was flowing and the fair delivered a polished and thoughtful experience for visitors and exhibitors alike.
Pedigree TEFAF regulars lent weight to the exhibitor list underscoring Treasure House’s positioning as a fair of international calibre. Among those we saw were Richard Green, Wartski, A La Vielle Russie, Koopman Rare Art, A Lighthouse Called Kanata, Adrian Alan, Bowman Sculpture, Adrian Sassoon, Joost Van Den Bergh, Kallos Gallery, Kent Antiques, MacConnal-Mason, Michael Goedhuis, Piano Nobile, Somlo, Thomas Coulborn & Sons, William Weston, Waddington Custot, SJ Phillips, and Osborne Samuel. There were encouraging sales, with jewellery, modern British art and micromosaics attracting interest.
A highlight was The Brilliant Bugattis, a carefully curated exhibition celebrating the multigenerational achievements of the Bugatti family, from Carlo’s Art Nouveau design to Ettore’s legendary engineering. A rare 1925 Bugatti Type 39 provided a dazzling talking point and added a theatrical centrepiece to the fair.
With its combination of leading experts, connoisseurship and spectacle, Treasure House continues to refine its identity, offering a beautifully presented platform for discovery. As the fair looks to its fourth iteration in 2026, its strength may lie in its potential to attract a loyal, curious and culturally engaged audience.
