When it launched in 2010, Masterpiece London was the talk of the town thanks to its spectacular mix of art, antiques, and design. Dubbed a “cross-collecting fair,” the event brings together modern and classic material seamlessly—a model that has been adopted by an array of celebrated and long-running fairs, including TEFAF Maastricht and the Winter Antiques Show.

Held June 30-July 6, in the middle of the city’s bustling summer art and auction season, which includes London Art Week, Masterpiece London is revered for its exceedingly elegant and glamorous atmosphere. Held on the South Grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, attendees can expect to rub elbows with an array of collectors, curators, celebrities, and aristocrats from around the globe, including the New York-based interior designers Jamie Drake and Ellie Cullman, Paul McCartney, Mila Kunis, and Nicholas Penny, the former director of London’s National Gallery.

This year’s fair will welcome 154 leading international galleries, including, Peter Finer, Long-Sharp Gallery, Trinity House Paintings, Richard Green, and Ronald Phillips. Two renowned interior designers who do double duty as dealers—Axel Vervoordt and Rose Uniacke—will also be exhibiting at the show. Vervoordt will present ancient Roman and Egyptian sculptural works alongside modern art and design, while Uniacke will be displaying furniture, lighting, and works of art from the nineteenth century to present day.

Also be sure to stop by Long-Sharp Gallery’s booth to browse a selection of works by the Belgium-based silversmiths, Thalen & Thalen. On Saturday, July 2, Rob and Jaap Thalen, the father-son team behind the company, will lead a talk and sign copies of their publication Silver as Fine Art: Pure Silver, An Invitation to Our Senses. Guests can also catch a glimpse of a recently discovered masterpiece by Anthony van Dyck in Dickinson’s booth. The work, Madonna, Child and St. John, has not been seen in public since 1887. With offerings that span 5,000 years worth of styles and movements—from Old Master paintings to mid-century modern furniture—Masterpiece London prides itself on having something for everyone.

Another must-see at the fair is a curated salon dedicated to the late architect Zaha Hadid in David Gill Gallery’s booth. The presentation will be curated by Francis Sultana—CEO of the gallery and a close friend and collaborator of Hadid. The salon will explore Hadid’s genius across all disciplines. Hadid, who passed away in March, is best known for her geometric and decidedly futuristic designs. The Iraqi-British architect was the first woman to be awarded the Pritzker Prize.
