the reassurance that BADA has rigorous membership vetting and a stringent Code of
Conduct. There are no hidden fees or costs, and BADA will not charge any buyers’
premium.”

showcase the exceptional quality, craftsmanship and diversity of their objects. BADA
Auctions will give our members international promotion and enable them to build a

About BADA
The British Antique Dealers' Association (BADA) is the trade association for the leading antique
dealers in Britain. Since its foundation in 1918 BADA has set the standard for trading in the
antiques business. Its main aim is to establish and maintain confidence between its members
and the public, both in buying and selling.
A PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION
Members are elected to the association for their high business standards and expertise. They
adhere to a vigorously enforced code as laid down in the association's Bye-laws. After a
thorough election procedure dealers continue to have their membership renewed and
confirmed annually.
BADA members pride themselves on their reputation for integrity, wide knowledge of their
chosen field of specialization and the high quality of their stock. It is for this reason that a
member of the public can have confidence when buying from, or selling to, a member of the
BADA.
There are approximately three hundred and fifty dealers, galleries and shops throughout Britain
who have met the very high standards that BADA demands.
