British & Scandinavian Furniture & Design
1951 Design
Tim Smith-Vincent is a specialist in mid-century modern British and Scandinavian design, and a regular exhibitor at our Decorative Antique & Textiles Fairs. Welcome back to Battersea…
Tim is bringing an exciting piece of Festival of Britain history – an original 1951 set of the chairs that were created for the outside seating spaces at the Festival site! The design is known as ‘Antelope’, and was created by Ernest Race.
Manufactured by Race Furniture (the company still exists), the six chairs are currently offered in white, but the plywood seats were originally either in red, blue or green, and the price of £2250 includes replacement (by Race Furniture) of the seats in any colour as required.

Hi Tim,
Just a quick one to say that i will pop in at some time to pay and collect the Rye mug/tankard you were kind enough to keep aside for me from the last show.
See you there. Best, Andrew Pavitt
