About our gallery - Apollo Art & Antiques

Apollo Art & Antiques was born from our shared passion for timeless design, craftsmanship, and the stories behind historical objects. As a couple, we—Harold and Alexander Beumer—began collecting French antiques simply out of admiration for their elegance and detail. What started as a personal pursuit gradually evolved into something more: a desire to share these discoveries with others who value quality, history, and the character of authentic pieces.

Today, we specialise in fine 18th and 19th-century French antiques, hand-picked during our travels and sourced directly from trusted contacts. Each piece within our collection is meticulously curated, selected for its beauty, authenticity, and condition. We take pride in offering objects that are not only visually striking but also well-documented and carefully preserved. Our clients range from seasoned collectors to first-time buyers, and we aim to make each experience as personal and thoughtful as the items we present.

What we offer

Our online gallery features a curated selection of French Empire mantel clocks, gilt bronze candlesticks and candelabra, antique sculptures, and other decorative art objects. Each piece has been chosen not just for its aesthetic appeal, but for its integrity—items with a story to tell and a quality that stands the test of time.

We believe that antiques should feel at home in contemporary spaces, and we’re always happy to help clients find the right piece—whether it’s a statement object or a subtle detail that completes a room.

A personal approach

Building long-term relationships with our clients is at the heart of what we do. We handle every enquiry ourselves, and we’re always available to answer questions, provide additional photos or videos, and talk through the history or details of a piece. Whether you’re purchasing your first antique or adding to a growing collection, we’re here to make the process smooth, transparent, and enjoyable.

We ship worldwide and take great care in packing and handling, ensuring each item arrives safely, wherever it’s headed.
