The ACT Seasonal Antique and Collectable Fairs have been running very successfully in Canberra for over 30 years. The Fairs are held in the heritage Albert Hall, in early Autumn and late Winter each year. As one of the earliest community buildings in the national bush capital, the Albert Hall, which is almost 100 years old, is a great heritage venue for the Antique Fairs.
With over 20 exhibitors from across NSW, Victoria and the ACT, you are bound to find that unique treasure you have been searching for, or perhaps didn’t know you desired until you saw it! Explore a treasure trove of antique furniture, exquisite jewellery, Asian and Middle East antiquities, antiquarian books, unique glassware and ceramics and a great range of collectables.
The exhibitors include a wide variety of quality antique furniture and interiors including early Georgian, Victorian English, Australian Colonial, French country and Art Deco periods. Bespoke jewellery for the discerning buyer including antique, vintage and estate gold and silver jewellery and gemstones. For something different there is an eclectic range of ancient antiquities including Roman, Greek and Egyptian religious art and tribal pieces as well as Japanese and Chinese oriental antiques and collectables.
Several exhibitors specialise in fine English china including Royal Doulton, Beswick, Worcester and Wedgewood as well as Moorcroft and Australian pottery and Hummel figurines. For the glass connoisseur there is a range of Schneider and Murano glass, English and Irish crystal, as well as French decorative art glass.
There are many other unique and decorative arts on display as well as quirky collectables, ladies accessories and boudoir items. Rare and out of print books, newspapers and magazines can also be found along with Art Nouveau metalware, vintage needlework, linen and lace.
Come and browse the great range of collectables and quirky and eclectic items in the exhibits.
The ACT Seasonal Antique and Collectable Fairs are run by Murrumbidgee Canberra Rotary. All proceeds will be donated to the Early Morning Centre, which provides support for the needy in Canberra and other Rotary projects including a research scholarship into childhood cancer.
