Whether you’re drawn to ancient cosmology, avant-garde abstraction, or automotive innovation, the Treasure House Fair 2025 is a curated universe of human achievement and artistic daring. For culture lovers, collectors, and curious minds, these six Culturalee picks are not to be missed.
A Rare Pre-Cubist Work by Pablo Picasso
Tasse et Bananes (1918) is an intimate still life by the legendary Pablo Picasso, created just before his full transition into the Cubist style that would change modern art forever. Offered by Stern Pissarro Gallery, this oil on panel captures the Spanish master’s evolving technique and is a must-see for collectors and art historians alike.
A Rediscovered Surrealist Landscape by Cedric Morris
A recent rediscovery by British artist Cedric Morris adds a dreamlike, enigmatic tone to the fair. The work–on display at Macconal Mason Gallery–is described by gallerist David L Mason OBE as “One of the finest and most enigmatic paintings” he’s encountered in his 68-year career. Known for his dual roles as artist and plantsman, Morris’ surrealist landscapes are increasingly prized for their originality and poetic detail.

15th-Century Jain Cosmological Map from India
Offered by Joost van den Bergh, this 15th–16th century Jain cosmological map of Adhaidvipa (Western India) is a rare and intricately detailed spiritual artwork. Painted with opaque watercolour on cloth, the map is a stunning example of early Indian cosmography and religious philosophy rendered as visual art.
A Rare Gold Sculpture by Barbara Hepworth
In a timely tribute marking the 50th anniversary of Barbara Hepworth’s death, a rare 18-carat gold sculpture by the British modernist icon is on display at Piano Nobile gallery. Complete with gold “strings,” the sculpture evokes celestial forms and references an uninhabited rocky island in the Isles of Scilly, where Hepworth often retreated. This particular work was kept by the artist until her death, making it one of the most personal pieces on view.
Sculpture Walk: Disrupt-Connect
Curated by Dr. Melissa L. Gustin of National Museums Liverpool, this year’s Sculpture Walk invites visitors on a journey through time, materials, and imagination. Titled Disrupt–Connect, the walk spans centuries—from an 18th-century sculptural children’s wardrobe (Mr Joy’s Surprise by Thomas Coulborn & Sons) to contemporary bronze artichokes by Jill Berelowitz, and two marble sculptures by Italian artist Massimiliano Pelletti, whose work juxtaposes classical beauty with modern textures. Pelletti’s work was on display at Bowman Sculpture, who will be hosting a solo exhibition of his sculptures at their London gallery later this year.
The Brilliant Bugattis: A Family of Creative Geniuses
A highlight of the fair, The Brilliant Bugattis is a landmark exhibition showcasing the genius of one of the most artistically gifted dynasties in European history. Curated by Edward Horswell, the show presents 30 rare works—from Carlo Bugatti’s exotic furniture and silverware to Rembrandt Bugatti’s animal sculptures and Ettore Bugatti’sgroundbreaking automobile designs.
This is the first UK exhibition dedicated to the Bugatti family since 1979, celebrating their legacy as pioneering visionaries in design, engineering, and sculpture.
“Each member of the Bugatti family created completely new aesthetics in their field,” says curator Edward Horswell. “Their pursuit of perfection across generations is truly unmatched.”
Treasure House Fair is at Royal Hospital Chelsea, London from 26th June until 1st July 2025.
