Hosted within the historic interiors of Hotel Des Indes in The Hague, THE WINTER SALON invites visitors into an atmosphere of timeless elegance where collecting becomes an immersive journey through beauty and heritage.
THE SALON is a hybrid concept that brings together a refined art, antiques and design fair with thematic workshops, expert-led talks and intimate lectures with artists and specialists.
We reimagine traditional art fair as a living cultural salon. A place where objects are not only viewed or acquired, but experienced, but also understood through meaningful human connection.
What distinguishes The Salon Events is our strong educational dimension: a curated programme of talks, conversations and workshops led by internationally recognised experts in art history, fashion heritage, jewellery and antiques.
Brings her warmth, expertise, and passion for storytelling to the event.
Known for her refined eye as a certified jewellery valuer and gemmologist, Anita extends her gift for connection beyond the world of fine jewellery—guiding visitors through the schedule, introducing exhibitors, and ensuring everyone feels at home.
With her gracious presence and genuine enthusiasm for craftsmanship, she will makeThe Winter Salon tale come to life and turn it into a welcoming and memorable celebration of art and beauty.
THE HAGUE — The Salon returns to Hotel Des Indes from 3 to 6 December 2026 for its third edition. Around 40 carefully selected exhibitors from the Netherlands and abroad will present jewellery, art, vintage pieces, decorative objects and fine furniture. A programme of talks, together with opportunities for emerging makers, will invite visitors to look beyond the objects themselves and discover the craftsmanship, histories and ideas behind them.
A Considered Selection
Exhibitors from the Netherlands, Italy, France, Spain and Belgium will be among those participating in The Winter Salon. Participation is by invitation, with selection based on authenticity, cultural significance, originality and craftsmanship.
Historical and contemporary pieces will be presented alongside one another, bringing different disciplines and generations into conversation. For Simak, these encounters are central to The Salon: they allow visitors to look beyond an object’s appearance and learn from those who have made, studied or collected it.
Na een geslaagde zomereditie keert The Salon van 3 t/m 6 december terug naar Hotel Des Indes in Den Haag. Tijdens The Winter Salon presenteren veertig zorgvuldig geselecteerde deelnemers uit binnen- en buitenland juwelen, kunst, vintage, interieurstukken en verfijnd servies. Lezingen van experts en gesprekken met kunstenaars maken het plaatje compleet. De historische zalen krijgen voor de gelegenheid een winterse setting met een sprookjesachtig bos en accenten van echt goud.
Voor liefhebbers van juwelen is er veel te zien: een gevarieerd aanbod van historische, vintage en hedendaagse stukken. Juwelentaxateur en Edelmetaal-columniste Anita Veenendaal is tijdens The Winter Salon opnieuw gastvrouw.
Ook kennisdeling krijgt een belangrijke plek met de Salon Talks: Martijn Akkerman met Juwelen & Mensen, Michael Nord met The French Crown Jewels, Julia Bocanet met Forgotten Jewels, Yasmin Widyanti met Juwelen van couturehuizen, Sigrid van Roode met Antique Perfume Jewellery, Céline Rose David met India’s Influence on European Jewellery en meer.
