The Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair Visual Arts


The Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair opens from 6-8 May after its launch to great acclaim last year, W Sussex www.petworthparkfair.com

Organised by The Antiques Dealers Fair Limited, the fair is held in a purpose-built marquee in the glorious grounds of Petworth Park. With the backdrop of Petworth House and its 'Capability' Brown landscape, the location is quite spectacular. The fair is supported by Savills, the worldwide estate agents.

Petworth House is home to a magnificent collection of art, including works by Turner, Constable and Van Dyck. Celebrating the 300th anniversary of the birth of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown this year, Petworth Park received his treatment when Charles Wyndham, 2nd Earl of Egremont, commissioned him to transform the formal landscape in the 1750s. Petworth House's 'Capability' Brown Festival exhibition ends on Wednesday 11 May 2016. In honour of this tercentenary, The Antiques Dealers Fair Limited is offering RHS members free entry to the fair on all three days.

Ingrid Nilson, director of The Antiques Dealers Fair Limited said, "The National Trust is very supportive, as are the Petworth Business Association (PBA), the Petworth Antiques And Decorative Arts association (PAADA) and Savills. Visitors to the fair will be granted free entry to Petworth House, the 'Capability' Brown exhibition and grounds, during the three days of the fair, upon production of the fair's ticket. In return, National Trust members and holders of Petworth House tickets can take advantage of complimentary access to the fair. Antiques fair tickets, £10 each, allow entry across all three days, so people who come from further afield can enjoy a whole cultural weekend visiting the fair and the environs of Petworth."

Over 40 specialist dealers, predominantly members of the British Antique Dealers' Association and LAPADA The Association of Art & Antiques Dealers, are showcasing a cornucopia of treasures with the majority of dealers returning to the fair to re-engage with contacts made last year. New faces, all well-known on the fairs circuit, are Kaye Michie Fine Art, Shapiro & Co and Wakelin & Linfield. The fair is well supported by local Sussex dealers such as Augustus Brandt, Moncrieff-Bray Gallery, John Bird Antiques, Tim Saltwell, Thomas Fine Art and Wilsons Antiques. PAADA is showing a variety of items from the 28 antique shops and 70 member dealers of the association.
