Since the late ‘60s, Axel Vervoordt acquired a strong reputation as an antique dealer and art connoisseur. This family-run business, based in Kanaal, near Antwerp in Belgium, has grown into an international company dealing in art and antiques, interior design and a personal ‘Home Collection’. Its core and drive has always been an uncompromising search for quality, beauty and harmony. All objects, regardless their origin or value, share a timeless, universal beauty and an intrinsic purity that keep their eternal relevance. The Axel Vervoordt Gallery offers a platform for established as well as young artists to show their work at an international level. The gallery represents artists with a passion for the concept of the void and whose full dedication to the creative process explores the meaning of the universe.
