The BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair 13 - 19 March 2013
Antique Dealers Association
The British Antique Dealers’ Association
The British Antique Dealers’ Association (BADA) is the trade association for the leading antique dealers in Britain.  Since it’s foundation in 1918, BADA has set the standard for trading in the antiques business.  Its main aim is to establish and maintain confidence between its members and the public, both in buying and selling.

A Professional Association.

Members are elected to the Association for their high business standards and expertise. They adhere to a vigorously enforced code as laid down in the Association's Bye-laws. After a thorough election procedure dealers continue to have their membership reviewed and confirmed annually.

BADA members pride themselves on their reputation for integrity, wide knowledge of their chosen field of specialisation and the high quality of their stock. It is for this reason that a member of the public can have confidence when buying from, or selling to, a member of the BADA.

The BADA Bye-laws place obligations on the membership when selling antiques to the public; in the unlikely event that there should have been a mistake in the description of an item, a BADA dealer will be expected to make a full refund of the purchase price.

The public can therefore buy safe in the knowledge that all items offered for sale at the BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair are covered by these rules. All goods at the Fair are also fully vetted as an added safeguard, ensuring maintenance of the highest standards expected of BADA dealers. More information about the Association, along with services and advice, is available on the website www.bada.org.
