THE AUTUMN DECORATIVE FAIR takes place between Tuesday 27th September and Sunday 2nd October in Battersea Park, London. If you’ve never visited before, a big part of its charm is the prospect of discovering the unexpected and the unusual alongside the chic and classic.
Some 160 exhibitors from the UK as well as France, Denmark, Spain and The Netherlands turn up for the fantastic, six-day event, bringing with them some of the best furniture, design and art from across Europe, especially Britain, France, Italy and Scandinavia. Brazilian and American post-war designer furniture is also a regular feature, with tribal pieces from far-flung corners of the globe thrown in! ve
