‘Celebrating 20 years of excellence’

‘Littleton & Hennessy Asian Art’ is proud to announce our participation at the second edition of TEFAF New York Fall!

TEFAF is widely regarded as the world’s leading art fair. Since 1988, TEFAF has organised an annual art fair in March in the city of Maastricht, The Netherlands. This year will be the second edition of TEFAF in New York, featuring 94 of the world’s most illustrious dealers of fine art, design, furniture and jewelry from antiquity through the early 20th century.

TEFAF is unrivalled in the rigour with which it checks the quality, authenticity and condition of the works of art on sale at its fairs. Using the latest technical equipment, its vetting committee scrutinises every item to be presented, so buyers at TEFAF can feel entirely confident that any object offered to them at TEFAF has passed through the hands and under the eyes of leading international experts.
