Art & Antiques for Everyone Summer Fair
Art & Antiques for Everyone returns for its summer fair, 19 – 22 July at the NEC in Birmingham.
Bringing together a diverse mix of 200 exhibitors showcasing pieces from classic to contemporary, the fair will include the very best of furniture, sculpture, jewellery, Art Deco, 20th Century design, ceramics and more. The fair has also been newly renamed to reference Art in the title due to its mixture of eye-catching paintings, prints and watercolours.
Highlights
This summer introduces the Weekend Collective, providing visitors the chance to purchase an ever wider variety of vintage items and curious collectables on Saturday and Sunday.
The fair will also be hosting an exciting and alluring Feature Exhibition entitled “Just a Hook? An Exhibition of Buttonhooks and Related Artefacts” presented by The Buttonhook Society. This exhibition will feature a variety of hundreds of buttonhooks, all uniquely individual in their own way.
The Chairman of The Buttonhook Society will be delivering a series of talks about the social history surrounding buttonhooks.
Alongside this, Art & Antiques for Everyone favourites, Judith Miller and Will Farmer from the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, will be speaking Friday – Sunday providing their top tips and selecting a few of many standout pieces at the fair.
Art & Antiques for Everyone are also excited to welcome Dr Sally Hoban who will be introducing you to key aspects of 20th Century design through iconic pieces from the decades on Saturday at 3pm and designing an interior scheme based on all the wide variety of pieces the exhibitors have to offer.
With all pieces vetted for quality and authenticity by a team of experts, the fair is the perfect way to discover new decorative pieces for your interiors and collections or simply gain new inspiration for the season.
