26th -29th May
The show description states No Ordinary Antique and Salvage Fair, Tick. ‘This Lifestyle Event has everything to inspire the vintage lover or interior designer in us all.’ This really is a great place to start sourcing some unusual and exciting decorative pieces, some period, some modern but mainly quality. Predominantly a trade fair this is a great place to find both interior, exterior decorative pieces and garden ornaments. With over 150 stalls you need to arrive early to get a full day of scouring every inch. We decided to to visit last minute looking for some inspiring design motifs not knowing if it was to be classic or contemporay as both are catered for in abundance.
Stand out display, the eclectic mix of french Chateaux and country pieces at The Orangery Antiques Ltd. https://theorangeryantiques.co.uk. Beautiful period mirrors with amazing patinas perfect for any style of interior. We also liked the exquisite vintage Herbarium, pressed botanical studies, mounted in charming frames suitable for any interior. We found it hard to resist this interior designers dream stand.
If your taste is for the more historic decorative pieces try Youlls Antiques. From highly ornamental Napoleon iii table Jardinier to miscellaneous Oriental ephemera. Fantastic multicultural inspiration.
For Mid-Century masterpieces look at Detail 8 Design, unusual, rare furniture, some with incredible craftsmanship. https://www.instagram.com/detail8design
In all a very enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere with amazing food, Goat Curry and live music to end the day, what more could anyone ask? Maybe.. Please, can I have more? https://www.henleydecorfair.com
