Located in the Duke of York Square, one of London’s most posh areas, The BADA (British Antique Dealers’ Association) Antiques and Fine Art Fair enjoyed another successful year. Founded nineteen years ago, the Fair brings together the best art and antique dealers in the UK and features everything from furniture and paintings to silver, jewelry, ceramics, glass, and textiles.
Blessed with perfect spring weather, the show brought in over 1,300 attendees during the first hour, nearly 300 more than in 2010. The Fair is held in a purpose-built pavilion next door to the Saatchi Gallery and a selection of high-end boutiques and restaurants. Filled with enormous bouquets, the show’s atmosphere was bright and light and although the Fair was consistently busy from open to close, the mood remained relaxed.
