It was a major challenge and few people would have bet on it being successful. I will never forget the incredulous and anxious email that my colleague from Amsterdam, Vincent Geerling, with whom I set up the fair, sent me at the time. Although brief, he made his feelings clear. “Jacques, what kind of adventure are we embarking on!?” Neither of us could have suspected that the fair would still be in existence so many years later, that it would become a benchmark and a not-to-bemissed date for archaeological collectors from around the world, and that it would have a sister fair in Switzerland, the Basel Ancient Art Fair. To mark its tenth anniversary, the Brussels Ancient Art Fair is proud to welcome two new high quality exhibitors, who have just been included in the IADAA (International Association of Dealers in Ancient Art). The first is Karl Stimm, an art historian by training, who is based in Antwerp and who runs the gallery Akanthos. The second is Randy Hixenbaugh, a classical archaeologist originally from New York, who was trained in art dealing by Jerry Eisenberg from Royal-Athena Galleries and who runs Hixenbaugh Ancient Art. For this tenth jubilee edition, we have arranged a large Egyptian art exhibition, entitled Ancient Egypt. Masterpieces from Collectors and Collections. It has only seen the light of day thanks to support from private collectors and European museums (the Kestner Museum in Hannover and the Antikenmuseum und Sammlung Ludwig in Basel), to whom we are extremely grateful. FROM WEDNESDAY JUNE 6 TILL SUNDAY JUNE 10 Vernissage Wednesday June 6th 3 pm – 9 pm Thursday June 7th 11 am – 7 pm Friday June 8th 11 am – 8 pm Saturday June 9th 11 am – 7 pm Sunday June 10th 11 am – 5 pm Exhibition The exhibition will take place just a stone’s throw from Sablon, opposite the Palais de Justice at Hôtel de Mérode, one of Brussels’ great venues. This princely palace dates back to the 17th century and is home to the very select Cercle de Lorraine Business Club, which counts the elite of the Brussels’ business world among its members. It will enable the public to see around one hundred very high quality Egyptian pieces, which stand apart due to their charm and originality. Many of them have never been exhibited before. A superb catalogue produced by around a dozen renowned Egyptologists details all of the pieces in the exhibition. Our tenth anniversary is also the perfect opportunity for us to thank all of our exhibitors for their exemplary loyalty. Most of them have been with us from the very beginning, some of them travel far to be with us, and year after year they appreciate the warm atmosphere that descends on Sablon at the beginning of June. In fact, we are not the only ones to occupy Sablon. Our sister fairs BRUNEAF and BOAFair, under the inspired leadership of Pierre Loos and Georgia Chrischilles, also draw a large number of visitors to Brussels. It is this combination of ancient, tribal and oriental art that gives this tripartite event its originality and unique identity. If you have a passion for ancient art, you owe it to yourself to be in Brussels–and nowhere else–for BAAF. The fair is exceptional in every way.

At her feet a dolphin sits with its tail curling upward. Ca. 1st century BC / 1st century AD - Height: 32.5 cm - Repaired at the knee Fine grain Greek Island marble - Very fine style. Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty. She was also known as Cypris and Cytherea after the two places, Cyprus and Cythera, where she was said to have originated. Hephaestus was her husband, the child Eros her companion, and Ares one of her lovers. The dove, the sparrow, and the swan were the animals sacred to her. In Rome the goddess was known as Venus.

Faustulus is standing to the right, an animal skin on his back, leaning on his stick. Before him, the she-wolf is suckling Romulus and Remus. In the background, vine stock with five bunches of grapes. According to Roman mythology, Faustulus was a shepherd who guarded flocks belonging to Amulius, usurper king of Alba Longa. Amulius took the twins Romulus and Remus and threw them into the river Tiber. They were found and then suckled by a she-wolf. Faustulus raised them with his wife Acca Larentia. The twins, who were Amulius’s great-nephews, were the children of Rhea Silvia and the god Mars (as claimed by their mother, herself the daughter of the deposed king Numitor).

He worked for several years at the Rathgen Research Laboratory of the Berlin State Museums and continued his work at the Curt-Engelhorn-Centre in Mannheim as senior scientist, where he was responsible for scientific investigations concerning the authenticity, provenance and dating of antiquities. Now he offers with PAZlab a variety of analytical services to the archaeological community, private collectors, antique and art dealers, conservators, artisans and educational institutions. The general aim of archaeometry is to collect natural-scientific information about artifacts and ancient objects that is inaccessible through purely archaeological and/or art historical methods. By using several methods of material analysis it is possible to obtain information about ancient production techniques or the provenance of archaeological artifacts and antique objects. PAZlab also specializes in performing non-destructive analysis of glass, ceramics, metals and art works.
