London's Decorative Fair - from May 9 to 14 May 2023

Celebrating the arrival of Spring is London's Decorative Fair in Battersea Park, taking place from May 8 - 14, 2023.

Billed as the UK’s "most beautiful antiques, design and art fair, and the interiors event of the season", the event is set to feature 130 stands, with an added focus on garden antiques this season, the fair  welcomes British and international savvy style-hunters and leading professional design and trade buyers on the hunt for unusual and one-off items of furniture and decoration for interiors and exteriors. 

With pieces for sale dating from the 17th century to the 1970s, a myriad tastes are tempted: from extraordinary to understated, opulent to folksy, formal to fun.  Paintings, prints, posters and sculpture are also on offer, from classic to contemporary.  

The Fair Foyer Feature will focus on early English furniture, textiles and objects both of, and inspired by, the period of Charles I and Charles II in the 17th century, displayed with later items in an informal country room setting.  The display will include still life paintings of all periods from the 1600s to the contemporary.  Expect simple English wood tables, coffers and chairs mixed with comfortable later seating and accessories in a timeless space.  Look out also for sustainable, expertly crafted heirloom designs that have stood the test of time..
