In Person and Online
Peter Petrou’s five decades in the art and antiques world form a story as compelling as the objects with which he has long been synonymous. Guided not by fashion but by instinct - “a disease curable only by death,” he jokes - Petrou has spent his life championing pieces that defy category, logic or expectation. Outward Bound, to be held on Tuesday 24 February 2026, gathers works from his stock and personal collection: objects chosen over a lifetime of looking, thinking, feeling… and matchmaking. For Petrou has always believed that dealers are custodians, not conquerors.
