Pictures are always strong at this fixture but at this 27th annual staging furniture sold very well with the accent on the traditional.
Notable sales included an English Regency library table in holly, a lacquered and stuccoed Louis XVI bed and a pair of French Directory mahogany bookcases.
Most exhibitors were Spanish but there were also dealers from other parts of Continental Europe (France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland) and even Argentina among the standholders.
The 2004 Feriarte will be held from November 27 to December 5.
