Catalogue
The Royal Manufacturers De Wit is undeniably the leading player in the sale and purchase of tapestries in Belgium and one of the major players at international level. Since it is also the leading restorer of antique tapestries for museums in the world, and one of the leading players for private customers, the Royal Manufacturers De Wit has been able to develop privileged relations with the greatest public and private collections and so build up an international network of enlightened customers. Lastly, the tapestries put up for sale by the Royal Manufacturers De Wit are restored by its own laboratory. Its international reputation in this area is obviously an asset and an added value highly appreciated by its potential buyers.
