Last Sunday I visited the Antiques and Textiles fair run three times a year in Battersea Park, after seeing it advertised I went along with the thought it would be full of old and new textile, with upcoming designers and new, innovative designs, oh how I was wrong.
It was an experience to see but it was all very commercial, with stalls of upclass interiors and a main target audience of over 50's. it was very design, some displays and stalls proved very relevant to my current table theatre, all with a very large price tag though!
The fair was a place for potentail buyers to source a nice lampshade for their dining room or special plates for the kitchen, not something im particulary interested quite yet.
Some pieces were quirky, interesting, a taste of european design as well as British, there was even a walking stick made out of a stingrays tail- well what do you buy a man whos got everything?
