Bibury Village Hall Refurb

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.

I’m off to “Antiques at The Holt!” this weekend.

Morning! 

Occasionally over the years, despite running many fairs, I still occasionally have time to be a stallholder at others. This weekend I can be seen with some furniture,tables, chairs, longcase clock, rugs, firescreens, drinking glasses and a fewer small items too.

Pop along if you have time, we are open all weekend, easy to find at the crossroads  at The Holt Hotel, Steeple Aston, Oxfordshire, OX25 5QQ Maybe see you there? These are coming too!

Regards, Andy.

Spooky! We’re back soon!

Hello again. Well, yes, Halloween time is here soon, and we are getting ready to put on a great show for visitors this Sunday, November 5th.

We have a great line up, so if you have the chance, call in to view and maybe buy too! This will be our final show this year, as we will be having a break, to return in March!

I haven’t got a spare coffin for halloween, but this Mahogany Cellerette is at least Sarcophagus shape, and is for sale, with a liner inside with six divisions!

Have a good week and hope to see you soon! Bye for now, Andy.

The Kitchen Cabinet!

Hello Folks!

Well, this little gem has been hiding in my kitchen for about 5 years or so, and prior to then was a workshop store for handy stuff, such as my part finished models of projects to be made full size, and all the delicate sketches and drawings of future work. When in the kitchen, was full of flour for bread and jars of honey, and some nice old steak knives which should be used more often, for any supper perhaps. Has a single interior shelf. Yes, I should have measured it, I’ll add sizes soon, unless it sells! Please call or email for info.

Well, here it is, an Oak Arched door cabinet with upper drawer. They keys are around somewhere as I had to remove them to wax and buff this prior to photography.

On show on Sunday October the first……..

Anyone remember the saying ” Pinch, Punch, First of the month, and no return!” Maybe I remember it as I was often on the receiving end, “Happy Days!?”.

One week to go!

Morning All!

Just a quick catch up here, as we are in the week running up to us being on show again in Bibury Village Hall. We open at 10am as many of you know.

There are a couple of new stallholders this month, and one of them will be selling some of the chattels from their mothers estate. 

The Lady that used to be “Listen With Mother” and who wrote several books died in 2016, and one of her daughters will be with us.

Here is  a link to the obituary, https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/apr/28/eugenie-summerfield-obituary .

Also here is a photo of one of last months items, created by Desmond Raynor.

Regards, Andy.

Weighing up the results!

Hello!

Well, it rained pretty well all day yesterday but this didn’t stop visitors enjoying the fair and buying little treasures to take away. No sooner had I photographed a charming Scandinavian silver salt in the shape of a longboat, someone saw it and it sailed off to a new home.

So, all in all, weighing things up, it wasn’t a bad day! On the subject of scales, here is a set which were on show.

Have a good week!

Regards, Andy.
