Presenting the Windsor Antiques and Collectables Fair:
Is The Hawkesbury ready?
Early Birds on Saturday morning: So far, so good!
This weekend, Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November 2016, the organisers at Antiques and Vintage Fairs are debuting a brand new fair: The Windsor Antiques and Collectables Fair.
This is not just a little local fair: the exhibitor list contains well-known dealers coming from Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, The Hunter, The Southern Highlands, regional New South Wales and regional Victoria. According to the organisers, they have already received enquiries and request for places in 2017 from prestigious dealers in other states who couldn’t make it to the inaugural.
Of course, in this case, the proof of the pudding is in the buying. Will antiques buffs come down to take a look, and will collectors actually spend money?
Top names from around the country are taking a gamble and bringing some of their best fine and decorative art including china and prestige ceramics, silver, glassware, art glass, furniture, jewellery, boys’ toys, dolls, teddy bears, militaria, kitsch – you name it, you can probably find it. There will be a few mid-tier dealers as well, so the range of goods on offer is extensive: from affordable collectables to rare items from famous makers, and unique and hard-to-find pieces to complete specialist collections.
But is there enough support in the area for a serious antiques fair? Activity on the Antiques and Vintage Fair’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/antiquesandvintagefairs/suggests that the Hawkesbury region is both willing and eager, with antiques aficionados declaring both their intention of coming to the inaugural and their hopes that the Fair will become an annual event. And a morning queue with 85 visitors in the first 15 minutes augers well. Will the momentum continue? We’ll see.

Canberra, here we come! We don’t get to take a break – this is the beginning of our fair season, and it’s straight on to the nation’s capital. Due to demand, we’re expanding: more vendors, more variety! The inaugural Canberra Antiques and Vintage Fair was so successful and such a hit with the public and dealers alike that all of our dealers from the inaugural will be back, save one, who has a previous commitment at the other end of the country.
The Fair was designed to have a wide range of goods so that there will be plenty available for the serious collector and for the novice as well. There will be all types of antiques and collectables: Vintage, Retro, Art Deco, Ceramics, Glass, Clothing, Quirky! Items to suit all budgets.
Antiques & Vintage Fairs dealers must pledge to label all items clearly and correctly, as a condition of exhibiting. All exhibited items are for sale.

Much to the disappointment of a fair few, the Woolmer’s Estate Fair was summarily cancelled.
News started leaking even before the affected dealers had been officially notified. I’m not quite sure the organisers realise that that’s not quite the way to do things; it’s guaranteed to make people cross.
Oh well, on with the new, so to speak.
The Tasmanian summer season will start with the Hobart Collectors’ Fair, which always generates a lot of excitement. It also signals the start of the summer season across Australia, as it’s closely followed by the Jupiter’s Casino Fair, at the other end of the country, causing a quick scramble for Tasmanian and Mainland dealers alike, who hurry back to home base to restock and then set off for Queensland.
More details on both fairs closer to the dates.

Word is that the inaugural Ulverstone Antiques Fair is going very well indeed.
The Ulverstone Rowing Club have established the fair as a fundraiser. It seems there’s been a good influx of young people joining the Club, and they need more boats!
The Ulverstone Rowing Club have been working very hard at promotion, and antiques dealers such as Kevin Dahya (Grange Antiques), Mick Smith (Michael L. Smith Antiques) and The Currys (Antiques and Vintage Fairs) have pitched in to help with publicity. The children of the Ulverstone Rowing Club Juniors, the intended beneficiaries, have been volunteering all weekend. The Club has high hopes of making the Antiques Fair an annual event.
Saturday had a strong showing with about 500 through the door; a very good inaugural for a regional fair.
The Ulverstone Antiques Fair 2015 continues through 4pm Sunday.

At the AVF Melbourne Antiques Fair top exhibitors from across Australia will gather in the beautiful St Kilda Town Hall to present the best in true antiques and vintage goods.
This is a genuine antiques and vintage fair and there are to be no items manufactured after 1985. As a condition of entry, our dealers must pledge not to display or sell reproductions, which we have to say has been a problem at several large fairs of late. This assures buyers that the items on display can be purchased confidently, with a goal to deliver long term repeat attendees at this premier event.
