Next week sees the opening of a new Antiques & Fine Art Fair at The Mall Galleries which are situated on The Mall towards the Admiralty Arch end. The Fair, which is organised by Penman Fairs, aims to celebrate “all things British”. As you can see from a couple of the images selected I am covering the odds on the weather!

Some thirty dealers will be taking part and visitors will find jewellery, militaria, glass, sculpture, paintings, and small items of furniture. All will have been vetted by appropriate experts and there will also be a packing and shipping service for those buyers from further afield than London.
It is an exciting new event for London which tends to be rather quiet on the art and antique front in August. One can appreciate Caroline Penman’s delight in launching this new venture.
