This prestigious fair, known for its high-quality exhibitors and unique, rare items, offered an extensive selection of fine art, antiques, jewelry, and collectibles.
This year, the fair featured a strong lineup of specialists in fine paintings, sculptures, vintage jewelry, antique furniture, and decorative arts. Among the exhibitors were established galleries such as Whitford Fine Art, one of London's leading galleries, showcasing the work of Mildred Bendall, a pupil of Matisse.
Returning modern British specialists included MacConnal-Mason Gallery, Walker Galleries, Freya Mitton, Duncan R. Miller Fine Arts, and Willow Gallery. The fair also welcomed first-time participants, including Gladwell & Patterson, London's oldest gallery, and Winsor Birtch, a specialist in British, Scottish, and Irish Art and Sculpture.
Butchoff Antiques, known for museum-quality 19th-century furniture, took its largest ever stand at the Fair. Silver specialists offered a rich selection of items from the early 16th century to the present day, including arts and crafts and art nouveau pieces.
The fair also featured a broad selection of horology and automata, with dealers such as Timewise Vintage Watches and Richard Price & Associates.
