The Decorative Fair this season, running from October 3 - 8 2023 at the Battersea Park in London is showing a fresh stock selected by 135 of the UK’s top antiques, design and art dealers. It’s a feast for the decorator and collector, say the organisers.
A treasure trove of refined reflection of stock have been put on display for collectors, interior designers, decorators and admirers to browse and buy from dealers who showcase a wide range and inspiring selection of decorative objects, home design collectables, furniture, lights and art, textiles and soft furnishings to bring unique style and personality to one's home or garden, covering a wide range of eras and cultural influences.

The Fair’s front Foyer is a special Rococo display featuring a collection of antiques and art for sale from various exhibitors.
Visitors can see and buy furniture designs and works of art in a light-hearted, often wildly ornate form of decoration that originated in early 1700s France. Anti-classical in style, Rococo features exuberant swirling scrolls, and elaborate usually asymmetrical naturalistic outlines.
Wallpaper and textile company Parker and Jules have supplied the Leopard print used on the wall in the window and a panel of a floral rococo-esque print called Eversley, used inside the stand.
