Doing Masterpiece London

Masterpiece London returns to the Royal Hospital Chelsea this month, with galleries and dealers in art and antiques from more than 15 countries around the world. What sets it apart is the juxtaposition of works spanning media and millennia, offering new and established collectors an unparalleled opportunity for discovery.

ArtAncient and David Aaron are among the dealers bringing an intriguing display of curiosities and antiquities to the fair. As for the decorative arts and furniture, look to Oscar Graf, Ronald Phillips Ltd and Godson & Coles, which brings a rare pair of George III armchairs attributed to John Cobb. Elsewhere, there’s everything from British ceramics, glass, silver and jewellery, courtesy of Adrian Sassoon, to clocks and watches, at the stand of Tobias Birch. Impressionist and Contemporary art can be found at Richard Green and Dickinson, while Lyndsey Ingram brings Post-War and Contemporary prints and works on paper.

Not to be missed is Masterpiece Presents, a dedicated space at the fair’s entrance to promote innovative, immersive works. This year, you’ll come face to face with two monumental light installations by Pakistani-American artist Anila Quayyum Agha.

Once you’ve had your fill, sit back and relax at one of the onsite restaurants. Le Caprice makes a welcome return, as does Scott’s Seafood & Champagne Bar. For a light bite, look to the Masterpiece Deli, serving a daily-changing, fresh and seasonal menu of pastries, cakes, salads and sandwiches. Go on, make a day of it.
