The Stylish Winter Decorative Fair / 伦敦装饰古董及纺织品展
Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of going to the Decorative Antiques & Textile Fair with a good friend. Actually, the recently joined talented steemian, @airlea. The fair turned out to be amazing. Very well organised and with so many beautiful things to see and do. Literally anything you can think of when it comes to decorative imagination!
The Decorative Antiques & Textile Fair is a family-owned fair that was established in 1985. They offer a fabulous variety of antique craftsmanship and 20th century decor to the discerning interior designer and private buyer. Today, this fair is held three times a year in London's Battersea Park.
Whilst there, I came across some very impressive selections of stylish antique furniture including the Art Deco design and lavishing lighting from chandeliers to modernist wall lights. In addition, there were some beautiful classical looking mirrors and a few rare collectibles like ornaments and vintage toys.
I was very interested by the intriguing comparative mix of the "old and new". Many of the displays were quite quirky but totally worked! Numerous stalls displayed their stock in a room-set fashion, providing ideas and inspiration for the visiting patrons so they can easily imagine these items being showcased in their own homes!
Below are some of the highlights of my visit to share with my steemian friends:
I also happened to find some Chinese elements here at the show too.
There are two floors making up of entire venue. The second floor presented a large range of luxurious rugs and textiles, including a lovely café for visitors to take a rest from all their antique shopping, lol.
I was quite surprised to see a lot of young people in attendance at the show too, unlike a more "traditional" stereotype that the young aren't interested in antiques. Now I can say they certainly seem to be,lol!
I was thrilled to be there and had a fantastic day out! Thank you for sharing in my experiences here at the Decorative Antiques & Textile Fair.
上周六,我和好友相约去看英国装饰古董及纺织品展。这位朋友其实是最近才加入Steemit这个平台,她的用户名叫“@airlea”。希望大家多多支持哦,呵呵。
展会办得很成功,每个摊位都有自己独特的风格,我们看到了很多最精致的古董和艺术品。凡是你能想象的东西,在这里都能找到!
装饰古董及纺织品展成立于1985年。当初只是一个家庭式经营的展会,现在已经发展成了在伦敦巴特西公园举办每年三次的盛会。该展会的展品跨越了17至19世纪的各式古董以及手工艺品,吸引了世界各地众多的室内设计师和买家。
展品种类繁多,让我目不暇接,其中有不少Art Deco 艺术装饰风格的作品。从豪华经典的chandeliers吊灯到现代简约风格的壁灯,到精美的复古镜子和一些列罕见的装饰品和古玩,真是应有尽有!
我觉得这样新旧搭配起来蛮有意思,看起来十分协调,充满美感。众多摊位的经销商费尽心机将各自的展台布置为独立的房间格调,使顾客能够想象物品摆在家里的样子!以下我来和大家分享一下我个人比较喜欢的展品,呵呵。
展会上还有不少中国元素的作品哦!
整个会场共有两层。二楼展出的主要是地毯和纺织品,还包括了一个咖啡厅供游客休息。
我在展会上还看到了很多25到40岁的年轻人。如果按传统的观点来看,年轻人通常对古董不感兴趣。但事实似乎不是这样哦!
看完装饰古董及纺织品展,我个人感觉非常不错,收获多多!在这方面有兴趣的朋友,有机会可以来看看。

Great Pics!!
I feel like taking everything home. How gorgeous it was!

精美的古董,讲述着历史和文化,谢谢分享。
谢谢支持!
现在的年轻人小众化社区化,可能跟我们以前想得完全不一样了。他们对于古董的迷恋程度和专业程度往往更深入。
同感! 谢谢@le0916留言😊。
Oh cool! I love antiques and I think that set of maps is my favorite of the things you showed us here.
I like that a lot as well. It was so inspirational seeing all these amazing collections! It happens 3 times a year, perhaps something you can plan on your next visit in London. :)
Amazing experience and very good pictures!!
wish we could get all this in our own dream house... :))
Me too :) It is always good to have dreams, lol.
