Welcome to St-John

Founded in 1980, our gallery has a long standing reputation in the buying and selling of fine Belgian and European paintings and sculptures of the 19th and 20th centuries.
We also specialise in Art Nouveau and Art Deco silver, with an emphasis on Belgian silversmiths and designers, the likes of Wolfers, Delheid, etc. Our 18th century showroom is located in the center of the historic city of Gent and displays a wide variety of antiques, furniture and art. You can make your selection out of more than 3000 items.

* The Silver Market Fair at the Sterckshof Museum was a success, due to the good weather and of course good sales! Check our gallery this week as we have bought some interesting 19th century belgian silver from a private collection. See you next year in Antwerp!

* The selling exhibition "Oscar Colbrandt (1879-1959) & Dan Van Severen (1927-2009)" is now closed. The downstairs gallery will feature our permanent collection in a couple of weeks.

The exhibition was a success: the number of visitors exceeded our estimate and last but not least the sales were good. We are proud to announce that a couple of important works by Colbrandt were purchased by two different museums and will be on public display in the future.

Thank you for your interest and support!
