About the Fair
The BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair opens on Wednesday 21 March 2012 and, for just one week, visitors will be able to buy top quality art and antiques from the UK’s leading experts. 

British experts offer quality and choice 
100 members of the prestigious British Antique Dealers’ Association offer for sale fine furniture, paintings, glittering silver, jewellery, ceramics, textiles and beautiful works of art. From Chippendale to Cartier, Tompion to Turner, there is something for all discerning individuals who share a passion for quality.  All exhibitors are knowledgeable experts in their chosen specialisation and for many the BADA Fair is their annual showcase in London giving visitors a rare opportunity to select from a wealth of quality stock not usually available together under one roof.  

A unique venue in a unique setting 
The BADA Fair’s unique venue, a purpose-built pavilion standing on the Duke of York Square, in the heart of Chelsea, provides the perfect setting for both browsers and buyers.  Visitors enjoy facilities which are synonymous with the quality of the exhibits for sale:  an a la carte lunch menu is offered by top caterers in the Fair’s own Cellini Restaurant with more sparkling refreshment available from the Taittinger Champagne Bar.  Shippers are available to advise, pack and ship purchases to anywhere in the world.  

We look forward to welcoming you to the BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair.
