With one day remaining of this year’s BADA Fair (British Antique Dealers’ Association Antiques & Fine Art), Britain’s premier showcase of some 100 leading members of the British Antique Dealers’ Association, there’s precious little time to snap up some savvy acquisitions. As the contemporary markets continue to bounce around and dealers and buyers speculation mounts to utter inconclusiveness, those in the antiques world sit smugly in the know.
Quality antiques continue to hold their value untroubled by transient trends and green collectors’ whimsy. This realisation that fine art and works of unusual and genuine craftsmanship stretching centuries is of constant demand has attracted global audiences. BADA offers the opportunity for visitors to quiz the vendors before committing to a buy – industry experts are on hand to advise and inform whilst all the pieces on show have been vetted and authenticated by the board itself, guaranteeing purchases of quality and authenticity.
From eighteenth century gilt cabinets to art deco jewels, head to the Duke of York Square to take a peek at the trove of treasures on display this time round. Don’t forget to contact art@quintessentially.com for independent advice and personalised tours.
