Hello all! Just a little review here to show what our August Antiques Fair looked like. I have shown a few of the stands, not all of them but maybe this will encourage a visit? We return to Bibury on the 1st of September maybe see you then? Regards, Andy

Flaming June!

Our Bibury Antiques Fair has it’s next showing for this year in just under a week from now, on Sunday June 2nd! We open, as ever at 10am and close about 4pm, as we often have a few visitors around ten past 4, as visitors walk past on their way to their cars to go home. So, last minute deals can be struck, and taken away. Here’s a few photographs of our April event for you to see. There’s only 4 chairs left now, so shout if you want them! The Hall really does look good now it has had a tidy up, the fresh paint and the clean floor make the place quite light and refreshing. Hope that you like them. For those who are wondering, “Flaming June!” was an old saying to refer to the heat of the month, I’m not sure that still stands these days, but maybe we will soon find out! Regards, Andy.

  • July 7th, another Antiques Fair!

    Hello again! Well, how fast the months go! We return to Bibury this coming Sunday July 7th.

Bibury Village Hall Refurb

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Hello again! I’m pleased to say that the Bibury Antiques Fair is coming back to a recently refurbished space! The walls and stage front have been repainted, and the floor sanded and revarnished, so the whole area is much brighter! So, pop into see us when we return in April, yes, still some time yet, but I do have a couple of small items almost ready to exhibit there, as do some of my colleagues. Here’s a few photographs of the hall, although empty, one can almost smell the new paint! See you soon folks! Regards, Andy.

A French Connection

Hello again all.

Just a quick catch up after the fair today and I tried to photograph my favourite item I saw today, a difficult challenge as it was made from Lead Crystal. Without proper time allowance, or backdrops, I came up with this photo. This item is available for sale, I can give your number to the dealer if you are interested!

I’d be happy to have this perched on a window as I think it may be a little too good for my current car! Maybe if I had a falconry business I could buy it as a paperweight!

What would you do with it?

Regards, Andy.

Hello again!

I am pleased to say that we have Lawrence Bunn joining us for our September 2nd Bibury Antiques Fair. Lawrence is a dealer and collector of Staffordshire, and this will be his first fair with us in Bibury.

Here are a  few photographs of some of his stock which he will be bringing with him, there will be more. Pop along and see, he is bringing a rather nice manor house with him too, I’ll add that next week, but if you fancy a new home, they will be one for sale!

Regards, Andy.

Ship Shape & Sporting Stuff!

Hello again!

On July 1st, which is this coming Sunday, we will be on show at Bibury Village Hall, a splendid village and venue. Although we are a small antiques fair, we do offer a fabulous mixture of items there’s usually something for most people to enjoy looking at, and quite often buying.

Jewellery is often a top seller, however this photo was taken last month, and I thought it looked good, what do you think?

See us there on Sunday from 10am till 4, and refreshments are served from around 1130, so one can have tea, coffee, sandwiches and cake in the sun on the tables outside the hall, or inside if too hot! All this whilst thinking what to buy, what a day it could be!

Regards, Andy.

If anyone can offer a helping hand to the buyer of this please feel free, it’s heavy and for sale this Sunday, first day out too! Georgian Bureau with a fabulous interior and excellent presence to it, just stands so proud and solid.

Heads or tails? Cards anyone?

/ Bibury Antiques Fair & Andy Briggs trading as Echo Antiques / Leave a comment

Hello!

Pleased to say that I have a card table for sale now, here it is too, a fine mid 18th C. wonderful colour mahogany table with fabulous legs! How can they be resisted?

Why not gamble on this and make an offer, but beware, despite being only on show in mid March for the first time, your offer may well be accepted! Gamble and try, we could both win! I’m not very good at poker, but I could be tempted!

Regards, Andy.
