From a young age, Henri Vanhoenacker has collected items from the Empire period. When he finished his studies in Art History and Archaeology at the University of Louvain in 1996, he realised his dream and opened a gallery in Courtrai. Since then, his specialist areas have grown to include the decorative arts of the 19th century. Today he concentrates more on technical innovations and the creativity of works presented at the World Fairs of the 19th century.
