Elegance, Scholarship & Collecting Traditions

European works of art reflect centuries of taste, connoisseurship, and the decorative traditions that shaped the continent’s cultural history. From the souvenirs of the Grand Tour collected by aristocrats on their travels, to neoclassical sculpture, fine paintings, and the accessories that once graced Europe’s grand galleries, each piece tells a story of refinement and erudition.

At Nwtiques, we curate a distinguished selection of European Works of Art spanning sculpture, paintings, decorative objects, and collectors’ accessories, sourced from the finest private collections across Europe. Many are museum-quality objects, embodying the artistry and intellectual curiosity that defined European collecting from the Renaissance to the 19th century.

Explore the Collection

Sculpture

From marble busts and bronze figures to ornamental vases and neoclassical tazzas, our European sculpture represents the sculptural revival of the 17th to 19th centuries. Often inspired by antiquity, these works formed the heart of aristocratic interiors and Grand Tour collections.

The Grand Tour

The ultimate mark of education and taste, the Grand Tour brought English and European travellers to Rome, Florence, and Venice. They returned with models of classical vases, scagliola panels, bronzes, and objets d’art that symbolised their erudition. Our Grand Tour section celebrates these timeless souvenirs of learning and culture.

Pictures & Paintings

Our fine art offering includes Old Master paintings, works on paper, and rare decorative panels. From 18th-century appliqué silk panels to European portraiture, these works provide both aesthetic richness and historical insight.

Gallery Accessories: Pedestals, Easels & Frames

Antiques are often best appreciated in context. Our collection of pedestals, easels, frames, and gallery furnishings allows collectors to display works of art as they were intended — elevating sculpture, paintings, and objects within elegant interiors.

Objects

A broad category encompassing silver, porcelain, ormolu, enamel, glass, and decorative works of art from across Europe. These pieces, whether a pair of ormolu cassolettes, a Blue John urn, or an enamel centerpiece, bring colour, craftsmanship, and presence to any collection.
