LONDON.- The Chelsea Antiques Fair has announced the dates for the Spring Fair - it returns to the Chelsea Old Town Hall from Wednesday, 18th to Sunday, 22nd March 2015 coinciding with BADA. The newly designed floor plan, launched at the September Fair, will be introduced to the Spring Fair to be able to accommodate more exhibitors offering a wider variety of objects and styles. The five-day Spring Fair will have more late night openings to fit in with the local residents schedules.
As Fair Organiser, Caroline Penman said: “Visitors keep commenting how welcoming our Fair is and they admire the fact that there is a lot of choice at reasonable prices. Many locals return to the Fair for several days, but we also get a huge amount of foreign visitors, who all tend to find something to take home with them."
The distinctive charm of the Chelsea Old Town Hall contributes to the success of the Fair, which attracts connoisseurs as well as collectors of all ages. With price tags ranging from an affordable £50 to exquisite pieces worth thousands of pounds, the boutique-style feel makes this the perfect destination for anyone looking for a great variety of fine art, antiques and design. Around 40 specialist dealers have been chosen for their expertise in each field and paintings specialists will be next to jewellery dealers, furniture beside silver, Works of Art neighbouring glass and ceramics. The date line ranges from millions- of-years old fossils to early 20th Century decorative art.
To enhance the experience, there will be guided tours around the Fair, which will encourage visitors to chat to dealers and learn more about their specialities as well as learn insider tips on collecting art and antiques in general.
The Fair will support the local charity, Children's Hospital Trust Fund, again. It was set up by a team of paediatric doctors in recognition of the fact that sometimes more than NHS funds are needed to maintain the excellent level of care in hospital for children and their families. Based on the advice of the medical trustees, they step in to support the 75,000 babies, children and their families who come to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital every year by funding state of the art medical and surgical equipment which wouldn’t otherwise be available in the hospital; from specialist play equipment for sensory rooms to million pound surgical robots.
