The Decorative Fair


"The Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair is one of the most important antiques fairs for interiors with over 130 exhibitors. The Fair has an international reputation amongst private buyers, antique dealers, and design professionals as an excellent source of high quality, competitively priced antiques and 20th century design. With strong roots in the design world the Fair provides inspiration of how old and new can blend together as a background for modern living.It takes place three times a year in January, April and October at the marquee, Battersea Park."


I quite enjoyed walking around this fair, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I had hoped that there might have been a stronger emphasis on textiles to help inspire me with my current project. There were some funny little stand with curious antiques, with looking glasses, and general knick nacks. I did however feel very young, most of the people there were middle aged, unlike other fairs I have attended.
