Biography: Abeloos Victor, a distinguished Belgian painter, was born on December 25, 1881, in St-Gilles. His artistic journey began as an apprentice at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, where he studied under the guidance of notable mentors Isidore Verheyden and Alfred Cluysenaar.
Abeloos showcased a versatile talent, demonstrating his proficiency in various genres such as female nudes, still lifes, landscapes, portraits, animals, seascapes, mythological scenes, and socially engaged subjects. Rejecting the artistic conventions of his time, Abeloos made a significant impact on the art world with his unique approach.
His contributions to the art scene were recognized through solo exhibitions at the Galerie Royale in 1922 and the Galerie Le Salonnet in 1925, both located in Brussels. These exhibitions served as platforms for showcasing his diverse body of work. Abeloos’ artistic legacy extends to the inclusion of his works in prominent Belgian museums, such as the Musée Charlier and the Musée d’Ixelles in Brussels.
His paintings captured the essence of his time and reflected his distinctive perspective on art. In collaboration with fellow painter Emile Vauthier, Victor Abeloos established a studio at 16 Godecharlestraat in Ixelles around 1930. Following his marriage in 1952, he permanently relocated to the studio, where he continued to create and innovate until his passing.
Noteworthy exhibitions in Abeloos’ career include his participation in the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts in 1901 and the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1903 and 1904. His exhibited works, such as “The King of the Flemish Meadow,” “Landscape with Animals,” “Le réveil de Diane,” and “La grève,” showcased his artistic prowess and earned him recognition beyond national borders.
Victor Abeloos, sometimes erroneously considered English, left an indelible mark on the art world. He breathed his last on August 18, 1965, in Ixelles, leaving behind a rich and diverse body of work that continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
