The third Treasure House Fair filled the Royal Hospital Chelsea with some seventy dealers and a non-selling display of Bugatti cars, bronzes and furniture.
The third Treasure House Fair brought some 70 dealers to the Royal Hospital Chelsea from Thursday 26 June to Tuesday 1 July 2025, in the late-June slot Masterpiece once held.
Thomas Woodham-Smith and Harry van der Hoorn founded the fair in 2023, after Masterpiece folded. Both had helped start Masterpiece in 2009, and they organised the first Treasure House edition in three months.
The fair keeps Masterpiece’s idea of one room in which antiquities, Old Master paintings, jewellery, silver, furniture and contemporary sculpture stand side by side. Independent specialists examine every object before the doors open.
About a third of the 2025 dealers came from abroad. Newcomers included the Dutch gallery AtKris Studio, with 20th-century Italian design by Gio Ponti. Mica Bowman showed her sculpture beside the work brought by her father, the Rodin specialist Robert Bowman.
The special exhibition, The Brilliant Bugattis, was a non-selling display curated by the sculpture specialist Edward Horswell. It brought together Ettore Bugatti’s cars, Rembrandt Bugatti’s bronzes and Carlo Bugatti’s furniture.
The sculpture walk ran out into the hospital’s gardens. Robert Young Antiques showed a drawing of a boat made by the future King Charles III as a child.
