The Decorative Fair is a family-owned event established in 1985 to bring together the antiques and interior design trades. It has been held in Battersea Park since 1997 and has developed a strong international reputation among interior designers, decorators, collectors and private buyers.

Created as a friendlier and less formal alternative to traditional antiques fairs, the event is known for its relaxed atmosphere and imaginative displays. Many exhibitors present their collections in inspiring room-set arrangements, helping visitors visualise how individual pieces could work within a home or interior scheme.

The Autumn Fair is one of three Fairs held each year. Taking place during London’s busy autumn design season, it brings together established and emerging dealers from the UK and Europe.

Whether sourcing for an entire interior or looking for one distinctive piece, visitors can explore an extensive range of antiques, art and design across different styles and price points. The experience is centred around discovery, with unusual and characterful pieces around every corner.

What You’ll Find

Explore traditional and decorative antiques, 20th-century design and interior accessories from the 1700s to the 1970s.

More than 130 specialist dealers present furniture, textiles, lighting, paintings, prints, sculpture, decorative objects and works of art across a wide range of styles and price points.
