A Festival of Treasures at The Petersfield Antiques Fair
The Festival Hall, Petersfield, Hampshire GU31 4AE
5 – 7 February 2010


Art and antiques valued at more than £1million go on sale at Hampshire’s most popular art and antiques event, The Petersfield Antiques Fair, from 5th – 7th February 2010, at The Festival Hall. The fair features more than forty leading specialist dealers offering a wide range of period furniture, paintings, sculpture, jewellery, ceramics and collector’s items. Exhibits range in price from less than £50 to more than £10,000 and the fair is attended by both serious connoisseurs and first-time buyers looking for anything from unique furnishing bargains to exquisite French bronze sculptures, 18th century miniature paintings and early Chinese Blue and White pottery.

The fair is organised by Caroline Penman from Sussex. Says Caroline: "In the past six months the antiques trade has really picked up. More and more people have begun to realise what fabulous bargains can be found at fairs, unique that will last a lifetime and bring enormous pleasure. And everything here is vetted for authenticity, which means buyers can buy with confidence."

Among the many highlights will be a superb range of Art Deco bronze figures on the stand of Hickmet Fine Art from London; exquisite Georgian and Regency furniture belonging to Hove dealers Yellow Lantern Antiques; portrait miniatures featuring smartly dressed ladies and gentleman from the 17th to 19th centuries from specialist dealer Cynthia Walmsley from Nottingham; early English oak and country furniture, perfect for the farmhouse kitchen and country cottage, from W.A.Pinn & Sons and Lennard Antiques from Essex; and fine English porcelain by many of the major factories of the past three hundred years on the stand of Andrew Greenacre from London.

Oil and watercolour paintings are always popular and the fair has several galleries. Graham Bentley from Warwickshire offers 19th and 20th century English watercolours and engravings, Ashleigh House Fine Art from Essex has Victorian oil paintings, John Morton Lee from Hayling Island specialises in marine paintings, and Michael St John from West Sussex shows popular Victorian subjects.

Many more specialist collecting areas are on offer. Simply Antiques from Moreton in Marsh has early calling card cases; Pars Rug Gallery from Hungerford specialises in Persian rugs and carpets; Shapiro & Co. from London shows fine English and Russian jewellery and silver, while Cathy Hunt from Gloucestershire will be showing early Chinese ceramics and exquisite sil embroideries from China.

A committee of independent experts vets all exhibits for quality and authenticity. "This ensures that buyers can make their purchases with confidence and is the mark of a good quality fair," explains Caroline Penman, who used to be an antique dealer herself and knows how collectors who invest in fine quality antiques need that kind of reassurance.

The Petersfield Antiques Fair was established back in the early 1970s, and is flourishing, with regular visitors and exhibitors. Organised by Penman Fairs from East Sussex, the Fair runs for three days, Friday to Sunday.

Admission: £3.00.
Times:
Friday 5 February 10.30am-6pm

Rare Exeter Silver Highlights Powderham Castle Antiques Fair

The Powderham Castle Antiques & Fine Art Fair
Kenton, Exeter, Devon, EX6 8JL
12th – 14th February 2010

A collection of rare antique silver hallmarked in Exeter will be a major attraction when it goes on sale at The Powderham Castle Antiques & Fine Art Fair, 12th – 14th February 2010.

Belonging to specialist silver dealer David Griffiths of Chapel Antiques from Exeter, the collection includes pieces from the Georgian, Regency and Victorian periods, all bearing the Exeter hallmark. Exeter opened its own Assay Office in 1701 when an Act of Parliament allowed the opening of five new provincial Assay Offices, in Exeter, Chester, York, Norwich and Bristol.  It closed in 1883.

Throughout this period Exeter Assay Office was used by silversmiths in Barnstaple, Bodmin, Bridgwater, Bristol, Dartmouth, Dunster, Falmouth, Fowey, Launceston, Liskeard, Modbury, Newton Abbot, Plymouth, Taunton, Tiverton, Topsham, Totnes and Truro. Today, silver with the Exeter hallmark is widely collected and many of the makers are well recorded.

Among the special pieces will be a rare George III period snuffer tray by Joseph Goss and Francis Parsons, dated 1811, priced at £1,850; a late 17th century provincial Trefid spoon by Daniel Slade of Exeter, dated 1693; a Victorian solid silver salver with floral decoration by the Bristol makers James and Josiah Williams, hallmarked 1873, priced at £685 and, also by James and Josiah Williams, a large silver cream jug, highly decorated and with seashells for the feet, hallmarked 1858, priced at £385 (shown here).

The top priced exhibit will be a rare 84-piece set of Queens Pattern canteen of silver cutlery in its original two-tier case, all with hallmarks for Exeter, and 1877, priced at £6,500.

Widely described as the most prestigious event of its kind in the Southwest, The Powderham Castle Antiques & Fine Art Fair offers a rare opportunity to view and buy and wide range of art and antiques with prices to suit every pocket. Exhibits start from less than £30 for a Victorian silver spoon to more than £10,000 for the finest oil paintings and Georgian furniture.

Many exhibitors are long established West Country antiques specialists. Ashburton dealers Apollo Antiques will be showing furniture, ranging from Georgian and Victorian pieces to 1950s and 60s Scandinavian designer pieces; John Collins & Son from Bideford has 18th and 19th century town furniture and paintings,Chosen Antiques from Cornwall has West Country landscape and marine paintings, Domani from Exeter specialise in town and country furniture and Richard Hoppe from North Devon specialises in scent bottles and fine glass.

Powderham Castle is the historic family home of the Earl of Devon. Standing in parklands, the medieval Castle of Powderham has views over the picturesque River Exe. Construction of Powderham Castle was started around 1390 by Sir Philip Courtenay, ancestor of the present Earl of Devon. It was extensively damaged during the Civil War and considerable restoration and alteration followed during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today the Castle offers a succession of magnificent Halls and State Rooms filled with lavish furnishings, tapestries and historic portraits of the Courtenay family, whose home the castle has been for over 600 years. The breathtaking Grand Staircase was once part of the Medieval Great Hall. A visit to the fair provides limited access to the rooms, where the fair is hosted.

Pubic Admission to the Fair 11am – 5pm daily. Admission: £5.00.

THE 21st ANNIVERSARY
CHESTER ANTIQUES & FINE ART SHOW
THE COUNTY GRANDSTAND,
CHESTER RACECOURSE, CHESTER
11th – 14th February 2010

Prestigious Chester Antiques Show Celebrates 21 Years at The Racecourse
Supporting The Hospice of The Good Shepherd

The Chester Antiques & Fine Art Show celebrates twenty-one years at The County Grandstand, Chester Racecourse with a special anniversary event from 11th – 14th February 2010.

‘We’re having a celebratory fair,’ explains show manager Caroline Penman of Penman Fairs, who first staged this popular event in February 1989. The Chester Antiques & Fine Art Show features more than fifty dealers from across the country offering for sale a wide range of antiques, works of art and objets d’art with prices from less than £50 to more than £20,000. It is widely regarded as the premier event for antiques collectors in the Northwest.

A Champagne Reception will be held in the Show followed by a Gourmet Dinner in the adjacent Leverhulme Suite on the evening of Thursday 11th February. Tickets for the Reception and/or the Dinner will be available from the organisers, Penman Fairs. A collection will be made in support of The Hospice of The Good Shepherd, a local charity.*


Among the many fabulous treasures going on sale at the fair will be a collection of ancient Roman artefacts including a large and impressive Roman military tile fragment (43cm x 45cm) bearing the stamp of the famous 20th LEGION, which was stationed at Chester for nearly 200 years, late in the first century AD. This heavy flanged tile would have formed part of a military building’s roof within the fortress. It was probably made at the military tile works at either Holt in North Wales or Tarbock in Merseyside, both of which supplied the garrison. The stamp is impressed with the letters ‘LEG XXVV’ which when expanded reads ‘Twentieth Legion Valaria Vitrix’. The words Vareria Vitrix (Valiant and Victorius) refer to the legion’s heroic part in the defeat of Boudicca’s Revolt in AD 60.

This large and rare archaeological specimen came from the collection formed by a reverend gentleman in the 1960s/70s. It is for sale for £550 on the stand of Alan Dawson, who trades as Odyssey, from Southport, specialising in classical antiquities and archaeological artefacts. Alan Dawson will also be showing an early version of ‘soap on a rope’. Proving that there is nothing new under the sun - a simple spherical pottery bottle - from ancient Greece, dating from the late 6th century BC. This decorated container, known as an aryballos, held olive oil (the accepted cleanser prior to soap) The oil was dripped onto the skin then scraped off with a metal strygil or scraper. The aryballos would be slung from a string round the left wrist and a stygil attached to the right wrist in the same manner. The owner would enter the public baths to bathe in what was as much a regular social event as an ablution. This attractive and wholly intact vessel, which measures approximately 8cm x 7.5cm, is offered for sale at £250.

In addition to antiquities, The Chester Antiques & Fine Art Show will showcase a wide variety of high quality art and antiques from specialist dealers from across the UK. From Chester, Melody Antiques and Barnhill Trading will be specialising in period furniture. They are joined by Church Street Antiques from Altrincham, specialising in period furniture; F.E.Anderson, from Welshpool, also showing English furniture, Rowles Fine Art, also from Welshpool, with paintings and drawings by Sir Kyffin Williams among others; Phoenix Fine Art from Knutsford, with early English watercolours, Jo Bennet from Manchester with contemporary paintings, M.& N Rugs, also from Manchester, with Persian carpets and silk rugs. Silver and jewellery will be well represented with five jewellery specialists, and three silver specialists from London, Yorkshire and Surrey. All exhibits are vetted for quality and authenticity.

*The Hospice of the Good Shepherd exists to provide highly specialised palliative care for people living with advanced diseases from the communities of Chester, Deeside, Ellesmere port and Rural Cheshire. Services are provided free of charge to anyone in medical need. These include Medical, Nursing, Social and Emotional support for Patients and their families.

Bath BA2 4EU

Bath Decorative Fair Turns 21!

2010 is a vintage year for this well loved premier provincial event which came of age from day one when the first event in 1989 became a firm favourite on the antiques trade calendar on both sides of the Atlantic.

Organiser Robin Coleman said how pleased he was that support for this unique event has never wavered and the quality and diversity of the exhibitor is as good today as it was 21 years ago.

A large number of the 45 exhibitors have been with the fair since it opened in 1989 and each year there is a sprinkling of new exhibitors who are welcomed to what has become something of a club over the years. The friendly atmosphere and the familiar setting of the Pavilion in the elegant Georgian city of Bath, together with a stellar line up of some of the best dealers in decorative antiques in the UK, draws a large queue outside the building on the Opening Day who come to feast their eyes upon country and painted decorative furniture from the UK and Europe, decorative accessories for the home, lighting, folk art, naïve paintings, needlework and textiles, pottery both decorative and homely Staffordshire pieces, unusual decorative items for the garden and much more. It is part of the tradition that coffee is served to queue, many of whom arrive before breakfast time on what is usually a chilly March morning to be sure to get first dibs of the concentrated exhibition of the best in decorative antiques and accessories outside London.

The Fair has embraced the move towards mixing 20th century art and design with period antiques and decorative pieces. New exhibitors and WEADA members, Gray Modern & Contemporary Art will be arriving on the Somerset Art scene this spring with their West Country launch at the Bath Decorative and Antiques Fair. The husband and wife team hold an impressive and constantly changing stock of work from respected Modern British artists such as Elisabeth Frink and Frank Auerbach to cutting edge Contemporary artists such as Tracy Emin and Andre Butzer in addition to decorative paintings, drawings, prints and posters from 1900 including Dodo Burgner, Averil Mary Burleigh and Roger Perot, a selection of which they will bring to the Fair with a collection of sculptural busts. Ashley Gray commented: “Having worked privately for many years, the time has come to take take our passion for the arts to the next level.”

New exhibitors for 2010 include Jonathan Swire Antiques of Lancashire who deals in antiques for a contemporary setting together with fossils and natural history fragments. Upholstery and lighting are a particular speciality. First time visitors Andrew Seccombe and Sarah Yates of Blighty deal in furniture and accessories for the library and country house together with Colonial furniture and accessories. Blighty has recently relocated to Cheltenham where there is plenty of room to display their range of large scale bookcases and library tables. From Tetbury, Jacqueline Hall returns to the fair for 2010 following a short sabbatical and will be bringing original painted furniture from her native France together with decorative accessories for the home and garden. Fontaine owners, Kiel Shaw and Stuart Atkinson will travel from their home in France to exhibit for the first time following a two year wait for their stand. Their very decorative and informal furniture and accessories will be a perfect addition to the Fair. Loran and Company from Bath will be bringing a selection of period and decorative painted furniture and accessories for the home and garden, including a number of country house dressers and housekeepers’ cupboards. Based on the border of Wiltshire and Dorset at Dairy House Antiques in Semley, Hossack and Gray will bring an eclectic collection of antique furniture, sympathetically restored, imaginatively upholstered and decorative, interesting smalls that aim to inspire and delight. Red Fox Gallery, who are also based at Dairy House Antiques, will bring a range of hand-knotted Persian and Afghani rugs and carpets. From Winchcombe in Gloucestershire, Mark Newsum exhibits at the Bath Fair for the first time. Mark is well known for his country oak furniture and treen and metalware collection which contrasts with his extensive stock of 20th century Art Glass including Mdina from Malta and a number of Scandinavian makers. Harley Antiques, formerly of The Comedy at Christian Malford and now at Pickwick End in Corsham, Wiltshire, will join the fair for the first time this year bringing with him some of the extensive collection of accessories from candlesticks by the hundreds to inkwells, footbaths, table lamps, caddies and boxes to ice pails and napkin rings with a selection from his collection of boxes, including wood, inlaid with ivory, mother of pearl and tortoiseshell together with a wide range of mirrors, decorative paintings and prints. John Davies from Piccadilly Antiques in Bath will be returning to the fair with a selection of country furniture and accessories including Spanish pottery Jill Palmer from Brighton will be joining Denny and Arthur of Ark Angel in Tetbury. Jill is is one of the most respected decorative dealers in the UK and and is sure to draw a large audience with her stock of English and continental furniture and an eclectic range of decorative accessories.

Seasoned Bath exhibitors Lorfords of Tetbury will once again fill their triple stand with a range of English and continental decorative painted furniture and accessories for the home and garden. After exhibiting for many years, Richard Nadin and chairman of WEADA Patrick Macintosh felt the need for even more space to add to their triple stand where they display wonderful country house furniture, upholstery and fine Colonial pieces so this year they have an additional stand facing their original space which will allow them the opportunity to include the large painted Bath basement dressers they have become known for at the Fair. Organiser Robin Coleman finds time to source wonderful pieces of quirky country furniture, folk art and accessories from the naive to the sophisticated while managing the organisation of this busy event.

More information about all exhibitors can be found via the Fair web site Bath Decorative Antiques Fair

A visit to the Fair may also be easy on the pocket - exhibitors donate £25 to the Fair’s chosen charity, Rowdeford School for Children with Special Needs, and as a non-profit making event prices are kept to a friendly level to encourage trade and public alike to visit the splendid Georgian city of Bath each year. All told it promises to be an exciting event, retaining its position as a premier Fair in the antiques calendar.

THE DECORATIVE ANTIQUES AND TEXTILES FAIR
Three times a year in the marquee, Battersea Park, London SW11 4NJ

London’s most popular event for decorators seeking unusual antiques and statement pieces for interior design. Held in Battersea Park, close to Sloane Square and Chelsea, three times a year.

The Decorative Fair is a thrice-yearly specialist event for the discerning decorator looking to source unusual English and European antiques, original 20th century designs and works of art from all periods to the present day. From opulent show-stoppers to useful furniture, around 140 exhibitors offer a broad range of both fine quality and affordable pieces for inspired interiors, in the relaxed surroundings of The Marquee in leafy Battersea Park – just over the River Thames from Sloane Square and Knightsbridge. The Fair is fun, fashionable and particularly well-known as an excellent source of painted furniture, Gustavian & Swedish design, 20th century design, lighting, accessories and named-design furniture, and excellent mirrors. Its worldwide reputation, established over 25 years, entices international trade and retail buyers, interior designers, and private customers seeking unique and unusual furnishings and quirky accessories for decorating schemes

Access to the event is very easy with a shuttle service from the Sloane Square Hotel, Sloane Square, throughout the event. There is on-site parking also, and good news for so many of us – well behaved dogs are welcome at Battersea!

The Winter edition of London's favourite event for unusual interior design from 19-24 January, 2010, will feature a special foyer display focusing on chinoiserie, highlighting the many eastern influences on British interior design of the past three hundred years. Ceramics, textiles, wallpaper, lacquer and its European interpretations (japanned furniture, toleware), decorative features and ornamentation, will all feature in the foyer, and all items will be for sale, as they are supplied by dealers at the Fair. The display will be co-ordinated with the help of oriental specialist, and regular exhibitor, Miranda Brankin-Frisby of Anglo-Oriental Antiques. The foyer will be decorated using chinoiserie wallpapers kindly supplied by Zoffany.

From the wide selection of dealers from the UK and Europe, Core One Antiques in Fulham, a first port of call for both UK and international decorators, dealers and private clients looking for the best examples in furniture and objects from the 17th Century to the 1970’s, will be very well represented with four residents exhibiting at the fair - Christophe Edwards, De Parma, DNA Design and latest arrival at the collective, Kiki Design owned by Sarah Roelich, who are all regular exhibitors.

Kiki Design, whose style ranges from antique to modern to 20th century is particularly influenced by Sarah's love of the stylised 30's Deco period and simplicity of the 1970's, will bring this very beautiful English screen with red velvet borders and faded damask interior. Embroidered with gold thread acanthus, stylised trumpets and finials in glorious Victorian fashion, it can be styled within a room or hung as a wall feature.

Christophe Edwards will bring this writing table in satinwood veneer with gilt bronze handles and original leather top, designed for Heal's, London, c 1950.

De Parma was established in 2000 from Gary De Sparham's personal passion for 20th century design. De Parma has become renowned as a premier supplier of quality, individual and exclusive lifestyle pieces in the UK and Europe. He will be bringing pieces from his collection of original pieces by Gio Ponti, Ico Parisi, Adnet, Fornasetti, Borsani, Fontana Arte and other noted designers of the 20th Century including this Garibaldi, sycamore and lacquer commode with decorated mirror top. Italian c1940.

David Ford, of DNA at Core One will entice the usual following with his diverse display of furniture and accessories from the industrial to the sophisticated, for both the country and metropolitan home.

Away from the city, Nick Mellors who owns the vast Newark Antiques Warehouse which is home to thirty specialist furniture dealers from both the UK and Europe, will be at Battersea for the third time, following his last successful visit in 2009. Nick will be bringing a number of interesting items from the centre including this marble carving.

Regular Battersea exhibitors Nadin and Macintosh will be looking to repeat their exceptional success in October 2009 at Battersea where they sold more than thirty pieces from their selection of country house and Colonial furniture, upholstery and period mirrors on the opening day. This time they will be showing some of their collection in the foyer as part of the chinoiserie display including this rare 19th c Chinese Export lacquer centre table with a Greek key pattern, 5 feet in diameter, shown, and a rare Geo I red lacquer cabinet on chest, c 1715 which is under wraps until the opening of the fair!

Nadin and Macintosh will also bring a selection of library furniture including a fine Chippendale partners desk, c 1780 and a George II carved Baroque fireplace from a Sherborne townhouse, c 1741
