Art & Antiques St-John

Welcome to the trade's best kept secret!  Since 1980 we have searched the whole of Europe to look for pieces that will surprise you. Over 3000 interesting objects from various backgrounds, styles, ages, material, sizes, prices... await you and are displayed in an 18th century chapel in the historic center of Gent.  
We are a family business, so you will profit from our personal attention, experience and expertise.  Born into a family of artists and collectors and educated at Gent University, department of History of Art, we can be passionate about both the quality and the history of an artwork.  This is why, during the last 30+ years of our gallery's existence, we were able to build a clientele who approve of authenticity, originality, craftsmanship and beauty.  Feel free to cross our doorstep and enter a realm of discovery and inspiration...  We hope to see you soon!  Emmy, Raf, Leo  Steel
