The biggest antique event on the English fairs calendar is the Olympia International Art & Antiques Fair held in London from the 6th to 16th of June. With around 200 dealers this event offers the widest choice of high quality art and antiques in London this summer.

A highlight will be a collection of silverware by Hukin & Heath much of which was designed and inspired by Christopher Dresser. Examples can be seen in this picture where the claret jug on the left has a patent registration mark for the 9th of May 1881.
