LONDON.- The eagerly-anticipated Masterpiece London today opened its doors to the general public for the very first time, enjoying an unprecedented first day’s sales. This pioneering event, showcasing a unique fusion of the antique and the contemporary, demonstrates that the proposition of fine and decorative art alongside premium collectables is a winning formula.
