Masterpiece 2013 is underway at the South Grounds of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, London. Now in its fourth year the fair has established itself as a worthy successor to the Grosvenor House Fair and it brings collectors, art dealers and curators from around the world. A huge range of goods is on offer in a luxurious purpose built mall type environment packed with everything from antiquities to antique furniture, jewellery, art, sculpture, tirbal art and even classic cars. Here is a small selection from a huge range. Masterpiece runs until July 3.
