Many people have found our new website and a lot of them give us encouraging comments. You may have noticed that we are not entirely ready yet: about 100 lots have to be added to the catalogue. We’ll do that today.

For those who didn’t find this out for themselves: when you click on the top left corner of the enlarged photo, you get a REALLY large photo to see every tiny detail.

And let’s not forget: there’s a viewing on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday, August 23rd

Without exception every big change involves delay… We had hoped the bidding system would have been ready somewhere last week. And it’s not, that was to be expected and nobody’s complaining. In the meantime you can leave all your bids through rik.martens@skynet.be, indicating lot number, your name and address and the maximum price you are willing to pay. We shall bid in your place as if you were there. Honestly, ask any regular customer… And then of course in the days to come, the system will work.

I’m sorry we had to turn down a few customers who had some items for the auction. We’re full, we really are. Furniture from the XVIIIth century onwards stowed up to the gate… Very nice paintings, modern and old masters, Chinese, Japanese and European porcelain, bronzes, marble and other sculptures, oriental art, comics and Tintin cars… Come have a look during the viewing on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st

Great auctions in September, and lots more to come.

While we’re focussing on the September sales (2nd, 3rd, 16th and 17th), I can’t keep myself from publishing already one photo from I painting we’ll be auctioning in October. It’s by Florent Willems, good XIXth century Belgian painter of “scènes galantes”. Bought by the previous owners at Verkoopzaal Leys when I was a rookie there in the seventies. “L’oiseau apprivoisé” it’s called. “The tamed bird”.
