Founded over 35 years ago in Brussels, the Galerie Philippe d’Arschot stands as a leading authority in European goldsmithing from the 15th to the 19th century.
It champions a broad and refined vision of the discipline, embracing not only gold and silver but also a rich array of materials such as precious stones, exotic woods, rock crystal, and enamels, alongside a carefully curated selection of Renaissance and Baroque jewelry.
The gallery supports private collectors and institutions alike in matters of expertise, advisory services, valuation, and acquisition. Research lies at the heart of its mission, sustained by an extensive library and a steady output of scholarly publications.
Since 2017, Dr. Erika Basso has joined the gallery, contributing significantly to its academic depth and international development.
