Suffolk
Aussie boost for Bury
16 September 2004A DEALER from Melbourne, Australia was one of the first through the doors, and certainly the most welcome visitor at Caroline Penman’s first Bury St. Edmunds Antiques Fair, held at the Athenaeum in the Suffolk market town from September 3 to 5.
![1653DD02A.jpg](/media/6167/1653dd02a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462562070000000)
Maintaining momentum… upbeat Bailey and Penman
24 August 2004HAVING reported on trade expansion, it is equally encouraging to see seasoned organisers such as Robert Bailey and Caroline Penman in a similarly upbeat mood.
![1652DD01A.jpg](/media/5666/1652dd01a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561720000000)
Penman is new hand at plough in potentially rich furrows
19 August 2004LONG-TIME readers may recall that I used to wonder why East Anglia, such a fertile ground for everything from agriculture to antiques shops, remained something of a wasteland in terms of fairs. What, I asked, held organisers back? The place may be a little off the beaten track but it is rich in artistic heritage from Cotman and Constable to Munnings, it has history from Hereward to Nelson and there has always been money from medieval wool days through to the present acres of wheatfields.
![1649DD02B.jpg](/media/5972/1649dd02b.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561910000000)
Going ahead at the double
21 July 2004NORFOLK organiser (and dealer) Liz Allport-Lomax holds her second Southwold Summer Antiques Fair at St Felix School in the picturesque small Suffolk coastal town from July 23 to 25.
![1649AR02E.jpg](/media/5761/1649ar02e.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561770000000)
Old favourites still solid sellers in selective market
20 July 2004THE ups and, more depressingly, the downs of the market this year make the results of a steady day’s selling of material put together by Nigel Papworth at Diamond Mills’ (11.75% buyer's premium) Felixstowe rooms at the end of June look positively encouraging.
![1647AR05H.jpg](/media/5833/1647ar05h.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561810000000)
Preview
07 July 2004PICTURED right is a 2ft 1in (64cm) Jacobean amputation saw made by Robert Hobbs that is appearing at a sale at the Cedars Hotel in Stowmarket, Suffolk on July 30.
![1647DD01A.jpg](/media/5965/1647dd01a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561900000000)
For pleasure and profit, Snape is the trade’s ideal working holiday
07 July 2004FOR years now, the annual Snape Maltings Antiques and Fine Art Fair has been an institution in the fairs world. Sited in a large tented pavilion behind the Maltings in the beautiful Suffolk countryside, it is certainly a contender for the most attractive setting of any fair anywhere. But it has been going for 37 years and no event lasts that long on looks alone.
![1646DD02B.jpg](/media/5998/1646dd02b.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561930000000)
Now East Anglia is new ground for Penman to pioneer
29 June 2004FEW fair organisers are bolder than Caroline Penman who, for decades, has been putting together such respected and traditional fixtures as the Chelsea and West London Antique Fairs. Not every Penman endeavour succeeds, but Caroline keeps coming up with new ideas and venues and, from September 3 to 5, she moves to East Anglia to launch the Bury St. Edmunds Antiques Fair at The Athenaeum in the Suffolk town’s Angel Square.
Worcester blue now scales the heights
22 June 2004THE very earliest English porcelain has long held sway in the market, but one feature of Part I of the mammoth Zorensky Worcester collection sold by Bonhams in March was the high prices paid for some of the late 1760s and early 1770s underglaze blue ground tablewares.
![1643DD01D.jpg](/media/5996/1643dd01d.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462561920000000)
Singleton follows up festive success with Suffolk summer special
10 June 2004EAST Anglian early furniture specialist Andrew Singleton has, for many years, held a popular pre-Christmas selling exhibition at his shop, Suffolk House Antiques, in Yoxford High Street, and following the consistent success of these shows he is staging a summer version, opening on June 12 and running for a week.
A monteith provides Suffolk punch
26 May 2004ANOTHER piece of wine-related silver was among the better sellers at Olivers (10% buyer's premium) April 1 sale in the form of an Edwardian monteith.
Lalique stands out from Victoriana
19 May 2004BILLED as a regular Victorian sale, the main attractions of Abbots Auction Rooms' (10% buyer's premium) March 29 sale were in a 129-lot specialist decorative arts section – in particular two pieces of René Lalique glass.
Rival trio at Sudbury set new record for Bawden watercolour
05 May 2004INTENSE competition between three bidders on the telephone and two in the room pushed the watercolours of Edward Bawden (1903-1989) into new financial territory when this signed and dated, 1956 composition, right, House at Ironbridge, fetched £10,500 at the Sudbury, Suffolk rooms of Olivers (12.5% buyer’s premium) on April 1.
Tables top solid demand for standards
23 March 2004THE final 130 or so offerings in Abbotts (10% buyer's premium) 675-lot Suffolk sale on March 10 showed that good examples of standard late Georgian and Victorian furniture can still find buyers if the price is right.
Decorative, down-to-earth price
02 February 2004One of the more unusual lots offered by Felixstowe auctioneers Diamond Mills (10% buyer’s premium) on December 16-17 was this framed and glazed Sutton & Sons educational display, right, entitled Analyses of Natural Grasses by Dr J. Augustus Voelcker.
Collection of 18th century Chinese monochromes
05 December 2003Private consignments of Chinese porcelain are increasingly difficult to source and competition is rife between provincial and London rooms. Prices regularly spiral for the best quality works whether they are offered in the provinces or in the capital.
Palm set for March after last success
24 October 2003WORKING under the name Palm Antiques Fairs, Norfolk-based Joy Fletcher launched her Palm Antiques Fair at Blackthorpe Barn, Rougham, near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk over the weekend of September 26 to 28 and tells me both she and her exhibitors were happy enough with business to warrant a re-run on March 26-28 next year.
A historical claim by a thoroughly modern family firm
05 September 2003FOR 40 years, the Suffolk family concern Tudorose Ltd has been involved, directly or indirectly, with the antiques world. The operation is very much in line with current trends, for the company creates high-quality reproduction antique furniture, designs contemporary furniture, restores furniture and completely renovates interiors, among other things.
Prepared to pack a Suffolk punch
15 July 2003FOR 35 years known simply as The Snape Antiques Fair, for its 36th annual staging, from July 17 to 20, East Anglia’s premier antiques event will be re-labelled the Snape Maltings Antiques and Fine Art Fair.
Regency green marble-topped table makes £59,000
09 July 2003Highlight of the June 24-2 Neal Sons & Fletcher was this Regency green marble-topped table. With brass scroll supports decorated with swan heads and a trefoil base veneered in burr walnut, and with ebony stringing and mouldings, the 2ft 2in (66cm) diameter, 4ft 4in (1.32m) high table had been ensconced in a local country house for many years.
