Founded out of a genuine love for authentic pieces. Léon Van den Bogaert, born in 1939 and raised in a family of craftsmen, spent over sixty years personally sourcing, restoring and collecting original European fireplace surrounds and architectural elements. Craftsmanship was in his blood — and that artisan's eye for material, proportion and historical integrity is what defines the collection to this day.
The next generations of the Van den Bogaert family continue his work. The same values, the same uncompromising selection, the same knowledge passed from father to son. No reproductions. No imitations. Only original period pieces, personally assessed.
The collection of Maison Léon Van den Bogaert Antique Fireplaces & Vintage Architectural Elements holds over 3,000 pieces and is one of the largest privately-held collections of authentic antique fireplace surrounds and architectural elements in the world.
