The winter Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair

The January edition of this regular Battersea Park event will feature an exhibit on 300 years of chair design - as well as the usual range of rare antiques and decorative items.

The Winter 2016 event will focus on one of the most popular purchases made at the Decorative Antiques & Textile Fairs.

Three Hundred Years of Chair Design will be the foyer feature, with examples drawn from exhibitors. The display will demonstrate the evolution of chair styles from the 1700s and 1800s, Arts and Crafts, Modernist, Memphis Group and architect-designed pieces. All items will be for sale.

What sets the Decorative Fair apart is the creativity and inspiration of the stand displays, the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere and a thrilling element of the unexpected; you never know what you might find around each corner. From period shop signs and advertising accessories to taxidermy, objets trouvés and fossils, exhibitors have an eye for the distinctly unusual! Decoration has never been such fun.

Easy to access from Chelsea, Sloane Square and Knightsbridge, there is a frequent courtesy shuttle service to the Fair from outside the Sloane Square Hotel. Well-behaved dogs (on leads) are welcomed. Delicious food from Megan’s Brasserie & Champagne Bar is available all day, whilst on-site packing and shipping facilities make life easy for international and UK buyers.
