The Brussels Ancient Art Fair (BAAF) was created completely from scratch on a whim in 

2003 in less than three months. 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. 

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.

Lion devouring the head of an Asian - Egypt, 26th-27th dynasty (664-404 BC) 

Faience - H: 3.3 cm, L: 6.8 cm. 

Depicted as a lion devouring an Asian prisoner–who can be recognized by his 

pointed beard and Roman nose–the Pharaoh provides magical protection from 

Egypt’s traditional enemies. 

The best parallel, from an iconographical point of view, is the famous Ramesside 

lion’s head swallowing the head of a Nubian, from the Schimmel Collection, 

kept in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (1989.281.92).

Roman Marble Aphrodite Anadyomene - An ancient Roman marble statuette of 

Aphrodite Anadyomene, the goddess of love, rising from her bath and leaning her 

head to wring out her hair. 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. 

The Aphrodite Anadyomene type statue depicted the goddess nude, wringing out 

her hair or adjusting the fillet in her hair after rising from her bath or the sea. 

Confer: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, inv. no. 27.122.17; 

The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, inv. no. 23.101.

Ring stone engraved with Faustulus, with she-wolf and twins 

Roman Republic - 1st century BC - Red jasper - Height: 1.6 cm - Intact. 

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).

2012 

In the autumn 18 top international dealers in classical, 

Egyptian and Near Eastern antiquities gather again in the 

elegant setting of the Wenkenhof – a lavish baroque residence 

in Riehen, on the outskirts of Basel. 

Quality is the key word, not only in objects and expertise but 

in context too. 

Set in a magnificent park, the Reithalle Wenkenhof has 

proved to provide the perfect ambience for a November fair. 

All participants are member of the International Association 

of Dealers in Ancient Art (IADAA) and follow a strict code 

of ethics concerning the authenticity and provenance of the 

objects they sell. Lunch or a refreshment at the BAAF Bistro 

completes the experience.
