London Art, Antiques and Interiors Fair

We were thrilled to be personally invited to this years Art Antiques & Interiors Fair by one of our Antique tutors, Toma Clark Haines, entrepreneur, writer, inspirational speaker, global tastemaker, lifestyle consultant and founder and CEO of The Antiques Diva & Co.

Needless to say she knows a thing or two about the world of antiques. She speaks often on the subject of mixing antiques with modern furnishings, the history of European furniture and the business of antiques and last Friday gave myself and her audience a detailed insight in to this.

Through out the event we had the pleasure of admiring traditional and vintage pieces to mid century and contemporary. All items at the Art, Antiques & Interiors fair are stringently vetted for authenticity and quality by the experts giving buyers every confidence in their choice.

Buyers can discover a diversity of periods and styles crossing a variety of disciplines including ceramics, glass, paintings, jewellery as well as British and continental furniture from mid century design, to Art Deco, silver, decorative collectables and contemporary pieces.

Guests of the event were lucky enough to join Toma as she browsed over 80 exhibition stands covering pieces from classic and vintage to mid-century and modern.

Toma also picked out her highlights throughout the tour and we were fortunate to hear the predictions of the latest trends in Art Antiques and Interiors. It was said to be be that the latest interiors trend is Folk Art - Contemporary Clean Lines and Minimalist.
