Founded and run by Harold & Alexander Beumer in the historic city of Amersfoort, Apollo Art & Antiques is a distinguished gallery specialising in the finest 18th‑ and 19th‑century French decorative arts. With a shared passion for elegance, provenance, and exceptional craftsmanship, we present a carefully curated collection of clocks, candelabra & candlesticks, gilt-bronze objets d’art and bronze sculptures of outstanding historical and aesthetic quality.
Our Vision & Craft
What began as a personal fascination with the French Empire and Louis XVI periods, has evolved into a trusted international gallery for discerning collectors, decorators, and private enthusiasts. Renowned for exceptional quality and rarity, we travel extensively across France and beyond to source each piece. Every object is selected for its authenticity, artistry, and decorative impact, and offered only if it meets our uncompromising standards.
Collections of Distinction
From striking Empire mantel clocks signed by celebrated makers such as Thomire, Claude Galle or Rabiat, to radiant gilt bronze candlesticks, allegorical candelabra, and finely detailed sculptures, our collection encompasses objects that embody historical splendour and timeless elegance. These are pieces chosen to enhance refined interiors and sophisticated collections.

We remain true to the ethos that antiques of the highest calibre deserve exceptional presentation, rigorous research, and lasting respect.
