LONDON.- This summer, The Treasure House Fair will return to the historic Royal Hospital Chelsea for a festival of art, culture and gastronomy. Taking place from 2Gth June through 1st July, London’s much anticipated summer art fair will bring together 70 internationally renowned exhibitors in the fields of fine art, furniture, antiquities, jewellery, watches and classic cars.

A “treasure house” of the rare and the beautiful, the historic and the cutting-edge, the interdisciplinary art fair blends items of quintessentially British character with hand- picked treasures from around the world. From the jewellery house that crafted Their Majesties King Charles and Queen Camilla’s wedding rings, to young art dealers breaking new ground in the international art sphere, the fair will showcase galleries working at the apex of their disciplines. All vetted by independent experts, the carefully curated works on display will take the visitors on a journey through millennia of mankind’s creativity, from Antiquity to today.

With major historical anniversaries coming up in 2025, from the centenary of Art Deco to the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen and the G0th anniversary of Winston Churchill’s death, visitors can expect a series of special exhibitions and events which will highlight London’s vibrant summer season.

Pursuing a tradition of summer art fairs in London going back to 1534, the fair is testament to the strength of the British art market and the fact that London remains a unique destination for international art collectors.

Harry Van der Hoorn, co-founder of The Treasure House Fair and owner of the leading stand building company Stabilo said: “We are proud to carry the baton of our forebears and be part of the long tradition of summer fairs in London. The British capital remains a vibrant hub for international trade. It is also a gateway to both Europe and America, with a strong local market.”

Thomas Woodham-Smith, Director and Co-founder said: “We like to think of ourselves as a festival rather than an art fair. People come to enjoy the art, meet up and spend time at the restaurant and the bar. It is altogether a social, sybaritic and scholarly experience which in just two years, has become integral to the London Summer social season. A bit like Prince Albert’s 1851 Great Exhibition and the 1951 Festival of Britain, the fair is a celebration of the greatest art and craftsmanship gathered from all four corners of the world.”

London’s pre-eminent interdisciplinary art fair, The Treasure House Fair was founded in 2023 by Thomas Woodham-Smith and Harry Van der Hoorn – the co-founders of Masterpiece (2005-2022). Brought to life in less than six months following the closure of Masterpiece, the fair’s first edition set in the beautiful grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea offered a fresh and bold remastering of London’s traditional summer fair, with a promise to preserve the event’s international renown for expertise and exceptional quality. Emboldened by the success of its first two editions, the fair returns in 2025 with a larger space, sustainable innovations and materials used throughout, and an extended roster of exhibitors.
