Wednesday Club: Rupert Maas

The Wednesday Club is returning for the Spring and Summer season at Doerr Dallas Valuations! We were delighted to see everyone at the first outing of the year.

Situated in London’s St. James’s, the Maas Gallery has built an international reputation as renowned specialists in Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite, Romantic and Modern British Art. The gallery Director, Rupert Maas, is a face many of you will recognise from his many years of appearing on our TV screens, courtesy of the Antiques Roadshow! Rupert is an amazing raconteur, funny, witty, and hugely knowledgeable in his specialist areas.

On the night of the Wednesday Club event, Rupert welcomed us all to his gallery and (after a cheeky glass or two of something chilled) he walked us around the space discussing highlights from the collection. The evening was filled with beautiful things, fascinating stories and it certainly wasn’t dull!
