Autumn 2016


Chairman’s Introduction INTRODUCTION I


t is with great pleasure that once again I welcome you to Berkeley Square for the annual LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair. Ushering in the autumn cul- tural season, the Fair engages the senses and mind with thousands of objects stretching from the pre- historic era to contemporary art, all strikingly pre- sented by knowledgeable dealers happy to share their expertise, enthusiasm and discoveries. In my sixth year as Chairman my anticipation of this highlight of the Association’s year only grows, and I am proud and delighted to join the thousands of visitors who come to enjoy the talks, tours and events, and to browse at leisure the wonders gathered together in this unique location. For the third year, Delancey gives its generous, en-


gaged and thoughtful support as Principal Sponsor of the Fair. Based in Berkeley Square, the real estate investment, development and advisory company’s shared home with the Fair is just one of the affinities between Delancey and LAPADA: in both organisations passion and professionalism meet as each upholds the best in its respective field whilst maintaining a strong ethic of support, whether to dealers and the collecting public or to clients and communities. We are grateful to be one of the beneficiaries of Delancey’s outreach, where comprehending, comprehensive and commit- ted support results in truly meaningful partnerships. This year’s Charity Partner, ARNI (Action for Reha- bilitation from Neurological Injury) has particular sig- nificance for me, as I have been privileged to witness its work and development over the years. ARNI’s prac- tical and emotional assistance for stroke victims and their families aims to enable a return to self-sufficien- cy following the sudden and drastic effects of suffering a stroke, and the LAPADA Charity Party will surely be a highly enjoyable evening in support of this cause. Special thanks are due to Besso and Rawlinson & Hunter, not only as regards this year’s fair but for their stalwart support of the Association, whilst we are also pleased to continue our media partnership with House & Garden and to welcome new ones with The Mayfair Times and The Gentleman’s Journal. As written in the latter, those seeking something beyond the ordinary – whether an impressive piece of furniture or simply an object of curiosity - can buy with assurance from a LAPADA Member. With over 100 exhibitors from across disciplines, the country and the world, the Fair offers a microcosm of the LAPADA Membership.


CHAIRMAN’S


All 550 members are represented on lapada.org, where you can also browse a wonderful range of their pieces. As I am reminded at each LAPADA Confer- ence or when speaking to dealers, the digital revolu- tion is just one of the ways in which our members are adapting to challenges afforded by a changeable eco- nomic and cultural climate, ensuring that this heritage trade has a bright place in the future and that beautiful and remarkable objects have an appreciated place in our homes.


The Lord Chadlington Chairman
