If it’s Spring, then it’s Bath Time, and The Bath Decorative Antiques Fair returns to The Pavilion for the 27th time this March
Heaven’s
iT’S A FAIR that defies being pigeonholed; with Scandinavian and French painted fur- niture, Mid-century Modern, Art Deco and 20th Century Industrial Chic, sitting along-
side early English and Continental folk art, country furniture, Arts & Crafts, textiles, paintings, prints and a good dash of Georgian and Victorian town furni- ture. “It’s the flair and imagination of our exhibitors who together create such an inspiring show,” com- ments the organiser, Sue Ede.
Held in the Pavilion building, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Bath, with an adjacent car park and close to so many of the city’s top restau- rants and bars. “It’s a must-go-to fair for the West Country and London antiques market. This is a fair that sets agendas and delights the home interior mar- ket,” says Sue.
40 PLUS DEALERS
More than 40 dealers take part, bringing the most eclectic and interesting range of stock you are likely to find at any event outside London. All kinds of col- lectables combine to provide a head-turning mixture of styles and colours – many of the exhibitors spend months acquiring fresh stock especially for Bath.
A host of dealers return to the fair, including Jack- daws, Elham Antiques, Molly & Maud’s Place, No.1 Lewes, T. & M. Kelly, C. & M. Todd, Aspire, Paul Bur- nett Interiors, Amy Perry & Lynda Townsend, Apple- dore Antiques & Winfield Canes, D.J. Green, Burgett Langfield, Erna Hiscox and John Shepherd, Bohms Antik, Nikki Page, Greenpark Art, Not Wanted on Voyage, Emily’s House, Susannah, Candice Horley Glamour, A.J.Art, Brian Ashbee, Chloe Antiques, Mary Hossack, The Trading Room and Wigs on the
