The Mayfair Antiques and Fine Art Fair

For four days last January, this new and prestigious boutique fine art and antiques fair burst onto the London scene to great acclaim.
Director of The Antiques Fair Limited, Ingrid Nilson said, 'Visitors travelled from various parts of the world and from around the UK to attend our first London fair. We were proud when they remarked that is was a totally unique event, full of interesting works, informal with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We aim to build on this reputation and feel we have a great mix of dealers, who can help us achieve an even better offering for visitors in January.'

The 44 specialist dealers taking part in the fair are all members of the UK's two main associations, the British Antique Dealers' Association and LAPADA The Association of Art and Antiques Dealers. The majority, who exhibited at the first event, are returning to show off their finest new acquisitions in the New Year, including furniture, sculpture, antiquities, silver, watercolours, illustrations and oil paintings, jewellery, ceramics and art pottery, maps and prints, glass, clocks and watches, oriental carpets, textiles, Asian works of art, boxes for all occasions, books, calling card cases and many other decorative and rare objects spanning the centuries. New exhibitors include Mayfair Gallery and Wimpole Antiques, as well as Mayflower Antiques from Worcestershire, ceramics expert Philip Carrol from North Yorkshire, The Blackbrook Gallery from Leicestershire and Smith and Robinson from west London.

The venue for this prominent event is one of London's most stylish hotels, The London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square, situated in the heart of Mayfair just minutes from the West End's shopping streets and Park Lane. Light refreshments can be found in the fair's foyer and upstairs Gordon Ramsay's two restaurants maze and maze Grill offer fine dining and New York grill inspired food. The hotel’s twenties inspired Luggage Room recently won an award for best bar in Mayfair.
