Decorative Fair returns to London this May

London’s premier antiques, design, and art fair is back this spring! From Tuesday 6 to Sunday 11 May 2025, The Decorative Fair will once again transform Battersea Park into a treasure trove for collectors, interior designers, and art lovers alike. With over 130 exhibitors, new faces, and an exciting lineup of talks and workshops, this event is a must-visit for those seeking unique finds and expert insights into the world of antiques and design.

Among this year’s fresh exhibitors are Maud Vaughan, offering vintage, mid-century, and decorative antiques, and Judith van Helden Fine Art, showcasing African modernist art with a focus on the Horn of Africa. Lovers of period art will appreciate Horton’s selection of 19th and 20th-century paintings, while Toby Campbell Fine Art presents exceptional works spanning the 17th to early 20th centuries. Fans of Spanish and continental antiques can explore Hispanic Antiques, while collectors of antique Japanese Samurai objects will be drawn to David Thatcher Samurai Art. Interior enthusiasts will enjoy Drew Muntz Interiors/Kronos UK, specialising in vintage lighting, bronze sculptures, and decorative objects, while Savino del Prete will offer both antiques and restoration services.
