Chelsea Antiques Fair offers a Boutique style, of intimate elegance in the fine Old Town Hall, built in 1906 in 17th Century style.  Small and relaxed, the 38 exhibitors are delighted to chat with visitors, impart their knowledge and discuss collecting in all its forms.

Standards are high, and Vetting plays a significant part in maintaining quality, authenticity and correct informative labels. Chelsea enjoys a higher level of vetting than at other Penman Fairs and most of the exhibitors are members of BADA  and / or LAPADA.

Exhibitors listed here are those who have already booked for September. This is "work in progress" and the plan may change as we get nearer to September.  Some names change between March and September, but there is a core of loyal specialists who show at both. 

The Standplan shows the a bare plan, which will be populated with names a month prior to the fair. Dealers will find more details in the Exhibitor Zone for prospective exhibitors.

The 2010 and 2011 dates again co-incide with the BADA Fair just half a mile away in March, and the LAPADA Fair in Berkeley Square in September.  In 2011 the opening time will move from 10.30am to 11am.

Since the demise of the Grosvenor House Antiques Fair, the Chelsea Fair is now the oldest Fair in Britain, and possibly the World! 

Chelsea Antiques Fair was established in 1950, and from 1951 to 1984 was run by Josephine Graham Ballin, establishing its fine reputation across the globe, and especially in the United States. From September 1984 to the present, Caroline Penman has been at the helm.
