\n
\nTaking place a month later than usual this year, it opens its doors to the public from Thursday 27th to Sunday 30th November. Held in association with the UK\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most respected trade body, LAPADA, around 50 leading dealers will exhibit and sell a vast array of stock including countryand town furniture, paintings, glass, textiles, clocks, sculpture, Chinese ceramics, jewellery, silver, carpets and rugs and much, much more. Prices start from a few hundred pounds to many thousands.<\/p>\n

The fair has an enviable reputation for high quality and stylish presentation and attracts a discerning audience from all over the UK and abroad. It is a friendly and entertaining show offering a unique and enlightening shopping experience. Whether you are a collector, an art enthusiast or just looking for something to furnish your home, there is a dazzling choice of pieces to tempt you. A popular feature of the fair is the selling exhibition in the entrance of The Centaur and this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s theme, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThe Art of Fine Dining\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is drawn from the various exhibitors. This will feature displays of dining room furniture spanning the design periods from the 17th century through to 1930\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Art Deco.<\/p>\n

With exhibitors\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 fine china, glassware, silver, pewter, paintings, furniture and carpets, Wesley House Events, one of the best event organisers and restaurants in the Cotswolds, has undertaken to come up with some fabulous Yuletide ideas for dressing the dining room. The fair has linked up with BIDA (British Interior Design Association) to highlight the importance of antiques in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s decorating schemes.<\/p>\n

\"BAFRABack by popular request is BAFRA, the British Antique Furniture Restorers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Association, with their experts demonstrations of restoration techniques. The highlight of their stand is a unique Hindu God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wooden horse which may have carried the Fire God Agni. The horse was in very bad condition when it came into BAFRA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hands to be restored having had a major accident many years ago\u00e2\u20ac\u201c probably having fallen off a processional temple or palace and left to rot.Being made of teak it has survived remarkably well but its body was full of clay harbouring unidentified insect nests and what appeared to be the remains of a monkey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s skeleton! So far the restoration has revealed some hidden and quite astonishing carving of its harness and jewellery. It is thought that this is the only example of its kind outside Asia.<\/p>\n

Local print dealer, Black Ink from Stow-on-the-Wold, is bringing an original 1920s poster, a humourous colour lithograph, issued in 1928 by atelier G Sane , for \u00c2\u00a31,950 as well as a lithograph \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcGrand Visage, 1929\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 by Henri Matisse priced at \u00c2\u00a317,500.<\/p>\n

Brian MacDonald Antique Rugs and Carpets, a newcomer to the fair, is also local to the area. He is bringing an early 19th century flat-woven horse cover, priced at \u00c2\u00a31,750, made by the Shahsavan tribes in the Moghan region of Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n

Kenulf Fine Arts, also from Stow-on-the-Wold, is bringing an early 20th century watercolour of St Peter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Church, Winchcombe by Violet Thorpe Lindsell for \u00c2\u00a32,750.
\nThere will be a selection of English bracket clocks, French mantel clocks and long case clocks ticking the time away at Woodward Antique Clocks of Cheltenham.<\/p>\n

\"EssexWith Christmas round the corner, Trivette are bringing a heart-shaped hollybrooch, c 1900 for \u00c2\u00a31,895 while Manya Igel Fine Arts are bringing winter scenes by Fred Cuming RA and bronzes by Enzo Plazzotta.<\/p>\n

In uncertain times, it is wise to put money into objects with an intrinsic value,and the art and antiques world has proved to be something of a safe haven while other types of investments have disappointed.\u00c2\u00a0The joy of owning a finely crafted piece of period furniture, a beautifully sculpted bronze or a sparkling diamond goes well beyond the financial reason for the purchase.<\/p>\n

The fair is continuing its association with HFT (Supporting People with Learning Disabilities) as its benefiting charity.www.hft.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00c2\u00a0fair is vetted with no datelines. Everything is for sale with the backing of the strict Codes of Practice of the leading antique dealer associations.<\/p>\n
