Japanese lacquer cabinet edo period

From the famous collection of René Withofs (1919—1997) René Withofs was born for the love of art. Fascinated by drawing, he bought his first object at the age of 13 and quickly opened his antique store and his contemporary art gallery. René's choices reveal eclecticism and daring. Man has a vision, a taste, an approach to art that appeals to artists. He inspires them, nourishes them and gorges himself on their production. An insatiable, jealous, possessive collector, demanding with himself and others, the generous esthete does not tolerate any contradiction. René Withofs was a man of art. "A few hours before his death, I carried my father at arm's length and we walked through all the halls of his apartment. Multiplicity and beauty of objects, my father contemplated the course of his life ". Marc Withofs
