Is An Antique Show The Same As An Antique Fair?  Can Our American Cousins Help?
An interesting query (interesting for me at any rate) just cropped up as I noticed that the Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair comes up in internet searches for Antique Shows (London).  With some further research, I found that the term is [...]

The Decorative Antiques and Textiles Fair With Top  Exhibitors…
… takes place in Battersea Park from 28th September to 3rd October 2010. There are over 140 exhibitors at the antique fair (including the Kennel Club who are there to exhibit rather than to sell).
It’s not just numbers; it’s quality and variety too [...]

The Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair Shows It’s Dog Friendly Face Again…

What’s “New” In Antiques… In London 2010 & 2011
It seems a little bit paradoxical to talk about newness in the antiques business.  But the truth is that antiques follow fashion as much as almost everything else so there’ always something new  – in the sense of being newly popular or available.  And that’s what you’ll [...]

A London Antiques Fair As Work & As An “Event”

Please do come and see our antiques (and textiles of course) in September.  Free tickets at the [...]

Where Do You Buy Antique Furniture?
Following a recent press piece about more and more antiques being sold through antique fairs, I wonder if there are statistics published in the trade press (which I’m afraid I don’t read) which put some flesh onto this particular bone.
And I wonder if this is driven by the trade or by the [...]

And Does London Have More Antiques Fairs Than Most?
Just thinking out loud really… but how many people go to how many antique fairs in London a year and how do they choose them?  I’d be really interested if anyone wants to reply to this query.
And does London have antique fairs in excess or just about [...]

When Antique Furniture Was New Furniture
An antique dealer mentioned on his website about the fashions after the great 1666 fire -  to have new furniture rather than the old style and I thought that it’s all antique furniture to us now of course  – albeit of varying styles and materials. In the 17th century and similarly [...]

Three Decorative Antiques Fairs In 2011 at London’s Battersea Park
If you only go to three antique fairs in 2011, then you can guess which three we suggest you visit…
But seriously, interior-design-conscious next-year-antique-buying folks, please note the dates now for 2011 for your diary.  Our three fairs are the second to last week (18th-23rd) of January [...]
