Autumn 2016

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to our sponsors, partners, exhibitors & visitors
week, the marquee hosts over 100 specialist dealers and galleries from across the country and world, and has been described as ‘Mayfair’s modern day kunst- kammer’ of art, furniture, jewellery, textiles, antiqui- ties, ceramics, sculpture, clocks and silver. In this care- fully curated environment we hope the intrepid visitor can appreciate the combination of tradition and histo- ry, as well as the skill and creative process of the crafts- man, artisan, or artist, whilst resting assured that every object has been reviewed for quality and authen- ticity by a vetting committee comprised of over 70 spe- cialists, and is offered by knowledgeable dealers who have gained acceptance to LAPADA The Association of Art & Antiques Dealers. We are lucky to showcase such an eclectic collection of items spanning so many different styles, periods, and cultures – reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of this capital city – and we thank our exhibitors for their dedication in sourcing and researching the objects and artworks you see here. This year inaugurates our first non-selling exhibi- tion, with a selection of pieces from the Chitra Collec- tion – the UK’s finest collection of historic teawares – on display to the public for the first time in this country. The exhibition showcases a selection of pieces from the collection that shed light on the extraordinary history of tea and the beautiful objects that it has inspired. We are pleased to welcome for a second year the Uni-
W
versity of Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum as Cultural Part- ner, with this year’s headline lecture being ‘Power and Protection: Islamic Art and the Supernatural’ on Fri- day 16 September. Dr Francesca Leoni will provide her unique insight in the fascinating ‘licit’ divinatory arts practiced in medieval and early modern Muslim societ- ies – from dream interpretation, astrology and biblio- mancy to geomancy, physiognomy and the associated practices of amulet-making. I feel certain attendees will be inspired to visit the exhibition, which runs from 20 October 2016 to 15 January 2017. Grateful thanks go to Clearbell for supporting the Talks Programme for 2016. The Fair is a beautiful example of what can be
achieved when so many passionate individuals and organisations come together to support the art and antiques trade. We are immensely grateful for the con- tinued support of Principal Sponsor, Delancey, the real estate and investment advisory company. We are thrilled to continue our media partnerships with Apol- lo, Harper’s Bazaar, House & Garden and The Week,
e are delighted to welcome you to the LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair 2016, our eighth year in Berkeley Square. For one
and to be working this year with the Antiques Trade Gazette, The Gentleman’s Journal, the Mayfair Times, Savile Row Style Magazine and Town & Country. I believe the growing awareness from such prestigious publications reflects a reinvigorated wider interest in antiques and art, and the desire to create personal inte- riors by combining varied pieces that can only really be achieved with unique objects or artworks. Once more Micha Weidmann Studio has conjured the Fair’s elegant environs, where you will again find a comfortable perch in Mr Fogg’s bar to relax with some refreshment from one of our drinks partners, Champagne Lanson, Berke- ley Square Gin, and Newby Teas. Last but not least I would like to thank the members
of the Fair Committee, Ian Anderson, Robert Barley, Anthea Gesua, Costas Kleanthous, Helen Linfield, John Robertson and Charlie Wallrock, whose time and insight throughout the year is of immeasurable value in improv- ing the Fair and ensuring your visit will be an engaging one. Thank you for your support, and I hope you will find plenty to enjoy and perhaps, take home.
