Bernard Descheemaeker - Works of Art was founded in September 2000 and is specialized in objets d'art from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance (c.1150-1675).

My website provides you with an overview of my collection. You can read my newsletters and catalogues online.

The website also provides details of my own exhibitions.

Under sales to museums you will find an overview of more than 50 paintings and works of art which I have sold to Belgian and foreign museums since 2001.

This website is updated at regular intervals. Add it to your list of favourites and visit it regularly.

My latest catalogue Sedes Sapientiae. A Selection from My Most Recent Acquisitions (cat. no.24) can be accessed online as from today.

This catalogus -my 24rd, no less- presents and illustrates as much as 27 masterpieces from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. There is 'something for everyone': late-medieval sculpture from the North; champlevé enamels from the 12th and 13th centuries; Flemish 17th-century paintings and drawings; and, it goes without saying, 16th-century painted enamels from Limoges. Even so, there are also two exclusive exceptions: an early 17th century silver hanap from Bruges and a magnificent palm wood relief by Albert Jansz. Vinckenbrinck (1650-1664).
Nevertheless, there exists unity in such diversity: each piece has been selected on the basis of its extraordinary quality, its extreme rarity, its art historical relevance and its excellent condition.
