The Esher Hall Antiques & Fine Art Fair, October 2014

How beautiful is this autumn afternoon sky above the Esher Hall?  

Esher Hall Antiques & Fine Art Fair, October 2014

You might remember that I told you about the antiques fair in Esher Hall the other week, in the blog post: Esher Hall Antiques & Fine Art Fair, 10-12 October 2014?  Well, I went with some friends and it ended up being one of the loveliest antiques fairs that I have visited to date!  The atmosphere was so welcoming and everyone was delighted to tell us about their pieces – and believe me, there were a LOT of nice things on display!  This was the first fair in Surrey that Richard Ogden attended and our stand looked a little something like this:

We then continued on to a stand where a beautiful moonstone necklace from circa 1910 caught our attention – we had reached T Robert from Norfolk.  This elegant collection can mainly be viewed at antiques fairs, as they travel across the UK to show us their range of exquisite  pieces.

Above is the piece that my friend fell in love with: a 15ct gold Ceylon sapphire and moonstone necklace, which displayed a range of different colours, depending on what light we viewed it in.

I am sure you can guess which one of these beauties caught my attention…! (hint: the Decades of Elegance logo)

There were so many wonderful stands to visit, with everything from 18th century furniture, to unique pieces of glassware, to the most divine Art Deco furniture.  If you haven’t yet had the chance to visit an antique fair, there are still some very exciting ones coming up before Christmas and I would so warmly recommend that you pop by one them!  It really is the most enjoyable way of spending a few hours, and you always learn so much, which is definitely my favourite part!

Esher Hall Antiques & Fine Art Fair, 10-12 October 2014

Happy Friday dearest!  I know that some of you guys live out in Surrey and so I wanted to let you know about a lovely antiques fair which is on next weekend, 10-12 October at Esher Hall.  The reason why I am extra excited about the fair is that Richard Ogden, where I am currently working, will be exhibiting there for the first time – and they will be bringing some glorious pieces along:

The fair was launched in 2008, and features around 30 specialist exhibitors who will bring us the finest town and country furniture, jewellery, silver, paintings, oriental carpets, glass, mirrors, and lots of other decorative works of art!

Vintage aquamarine and diamond brooch Harvey & Gore

I was delighted to see that one of my favourite pieces from the Harvey & Gore collection that we showcase here at Richard Ogden is featuring on the front page of the exhibition brochure!  It is an exquisite 75 carat (!) aquamarine and diamond clip brooch, where the aquamarine displays an exceptional colour.  The brilliant cut diamonds and graduating tapered baguette diamonds are also doing their best to woo us with their incredible sparkle and fire and the back of the brooch reveals an intricate platinum mounted honeycomb structure, which acts like a grid to hold the diamonds.  The origin is almost certainly 1950s America.  We swoon!

So I do hope to see you at the fair, I for one can’t wait to see what else it holds!  And the admission is £5 or you can print your own free ticket from their website here: The Esher Hall Antiques Fair.  I do hope to see you there!
