Holland, might not ring a bell in American ears, but in Europe it’s

definitely well known as the place where the Maastricht Treaty was

signed in 1992, giving birth to the European Union. Another reason to

be aware of this city is TEFAF, the celebrated annual international art fair, often referred to as the

‘Tiffany’ of all art fairs. That’s where curators and discriminating

collectors from around the world go in search of rare examples of Greek

and Roman art, Old Master drawings and paintings, and fabulous pieces

of furniture, tapestries, and porcelain that once upon a time decorated

the stately homes of European nobility..
