The
Esher Hall Antiques & Fine Art Fair takes place at
Esher Hall, Sandown Park Racecourse, Portsmouth Road, Esher, Surrey KT10 9AJ

Now in its 7th year, organised by The Antiques Dealers Fair Limited, it
is back by popular demand and is Surrey's most established event for quality
antiques and fine art.
Some 30 specialist
dealers, the large majority of which are members of the two trade associations

outstanding range of furniture, fine art, sculpture, glass, jewellery, ceramics
and collectibles, all vetted to the highest standard.

Fine Art from Kensington, Neptune
Fine Art, jewellers Penny Corah
& Rosie Savory and Anderson
Jones Ltd, joining the fair along with many
of the dealers who return annually having made excellent contacts over the
years.
Among the many
highlights is a lovely 18th century portrait of a gentleman, probably James
Stanley (1750-1810) by John Hamilton Mortimer A.R.A. from Strachan Fine Art selling for £19,500.

looking west towards Dorking, priced at £5,500.
The River Mole can be glimpsed running along the foot of the Downs

James Powell of London.

There is plenty of sparkle at the
fair with five jewellers exhibiting - Anderson Jones Ltd, Penny Corah &
Rosie Savory, Richard Ogden Ltd, T Robert and Plaza all bringing a very varied selection of antique

“The
jewellery trade has been in my family for more than a century,” says
Robert Ogden who runs Richard Ogden Ltd, the traditional English
jewellers in the Burlington Arcade off Piccadilly. Among
the many beautiful pieces on the stand is a platinum mounted clip brooch set
with a large octagonal navette shaped aquamarine, surmounted by diamonds and
invisibly set tapering baguette diamonds, probably American, c1950, priced at

Markies of Forest Row.
The fair
is supporting The Poppy Factory,
based in Richmond. Major George Howson
MC set up The Poppy Factory in 1922 to help wounded veterans from WW1 earn a
living. This work continues, but has
evolved to cater for modern day conflicts by helping wounded, injured and sick
ex-Service men and women find meaningful and sustainable mainstream employment
all over the UK.
Refreshments are available throughout the day.

all that is on offer.
The
fair is vetted with a dateline of 1970 for most disciplines.
