Q&A: Macconnal Mason
14 June 2024
A fourth generation, family owned business, operating from two freehold galleries in St. James, we’re delighted to welcome Macconnal Mason back to The Treasure House Fair this summer.
Why are you returning to The Treasure House Fair this summer?
We are excited at the prospect of exhibiting again at Treasure House, following a very successful exhibition last year. The Fair is in an excellent location, held at the height of the season, and has established itself as the successor to Masterpiece – at which we exhibited continuously.
What are you excited to showcase at the Fair this year?
We will be showing a varied collection of fine British and European paintings and sculpture to include Impressionist and post Impressionist works by Pierre Auguste Renoir, Boudin, Gustave Loiseau Henri Lebasque, and Henry Moret. We will also show Modern British paintings including works by LS Lowry, and Nineteenth century British and European works.

What advice would you give those visiting the Fair for the first time?
The Treasure House is an enjoyable fair to visit; it is not too large as to be overpowering, and one can see everything in the course of a day quite easily – with time for refreshments along the way. Concentrate first on your particular areas of interest before enjoying the rest of the very varied works on show.
