The Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair hosts its Winter 2022 edition in Battersea Park from 25-30 January. A bonanza of antiques, design and art for decoration, more than 120 exhibitors include specialist dealers in furniture, lighting, mirrors, textiles and accessories with a dateline to 1979.
Visitors to the Fair will be able to discover unusual conversation pieces and one-of-a-kind items for the perfect finishing touch. Art galleries will be displaying paintings, prints, sculpture, posters and beautifully crafted works of art from the classical to the contemporary. Jewellery, vintage bags and watches will also be on sale.
The Decorative Fair, launched in 1985 as the first antiques event to specifically cater to the interior design industry, is the go-to fair for top international decorators and buyers wanting that special and unique piece for their homes. The exhibitors’ creative displays are designed to offer inspiration and exciting ideas for using antiques in different settings. Garden designers visit to source statuary, planters, metalwork and architectural elements, tables and seating for exterior spaces.
At the recent Autumn 2021 Decorative Fair, there was extensive demand from customers looking to source country and classic pieces in traditional English woods such as oak, walnut and elm, unusual decorated antiques including marquetry, inlaid or painted commodes and cabinets. Sleek deco and mid-20th century French and Italian designer seating, mirrors and sideboards were also sought after.
The quantity of items sold was exceptional, driven by the renewed interest in storied interior schemes featuring old-school maximalism – colour and pattern, chintzy textiles, well-loved objects, and both traditional and modern designs that have stood the test of time.
This winter’s Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair promises to be an event that allows visitors to further explore these interior possibilities.
Exhibitors include: antiques from Christopher Butterworth, Paolo Moschino who specialises in objects from 18th Century Italy and France to vintage 1970s, Timewise Vintage Watches, Dorian Caffot De Fawes Ltd experts in French and Continental lighting, furniture & decorative arts from the first half of the 20th century, D J Green Antiques with pieces for both the home and garden and Clive Rogers Oriental Rugs.
The Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair, Winter, runs from Tuesday 25 to Sunday 30 January 2022 and is located at London Evolution (The Marquee), Battersea Park, London. For tickets, book online via www.decorativefair.com.
