PART TWO
Mid century modern
March is a busy month for a wide variety of English Antique dealers. The high end BADA Fair (British Antique Dealers Association) took place in mid-March in a tent in Chelsea near the new Satcchi Gallery in the Sloane Square area. Prices run on the higher end and some of the UK' s best dealers participate.
Included here are photographs of items at another London fair held in March which draws an entirely different crowd. The recent Mid-Century Modern Fair at Dulwich College is a mecca for collectors and buyers of furniture and objects from the 50's to the 70's. Held in a 1960's school auditorium, it attracts lots of families and young children as well as collectors of a variety of mid-century pieces that are primarily British and Scandinavian.

It's amazing to me that these 1960's chairs are so "modern". Fifty years later they would look fantastic in a loft. The pink velvet chairs would look great in an office or around a dining table and the leather sofas are so sleek and elegant. Great post.Thank you Nan.
